A car drives at 15 m/s and has an air resistance force of 244 N. What is the air resistance force at 30 m/s?

given laminar flow, the drag force is proportional to the radius of the sphere and to its velocity. Double the radius, double the drag force. Double the velocity, double the drag force. This is known as Stokes Drag
If you don't have laminar flow, then you need to figure Quadratic Drag, drag force is proportional to the square of velocity and to the cross-sectional area of the object. For which you'll need to id the correct Reynolds Number
