-Wind resistance or atmospheric drag tends to slow down moving objects. Atmospheric drag varies jointly as an object's surface area A and velocity v. If a car traveling at a speed of 40 mph with a surface area of 38 experiences a drag of 182.4 N (Newtons), how fast must a car with 35 of surface area travel in order to Experience a drag force of 281.4 N?
A) 64 mph
B) 72 mph
C) 67 mph
D) 69 mph
