    Drag is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving. It can be calculated as follows:

    vi = (80km / hr) (1 hr / 3600sec) (1000m / 1km) = 22.2 m / sec

    vf = (65km / 1hr) (1hr / 3600sec) (1000m / 1km) = 18.06 m / sec

    a = vf - vi / tf - ti = 18.06m/s-22.2m/s / 10sec-0sec = - 0.414m sec2

    F = ma = 1200kg * - 0.414m s2 = - 496.8N
