How to pronounce “drag coefficient” in English

- To make matters worse, when a football is going sideways, it exposes nearly 70% more area to the oncoming air.And combined with the higher drag coefficient, this means that the drag force is 10 times greater than when the football is aligned with the throw.So an un-spinning ball can end up going sideways, meaning it decelerates up to 10 times faster.

That's better than a bullet.But on its side, the drag coefficient is 0.85, which is worse than a cow.- Man, I'm learning a lot today.

But there was one bit though that I wasn't sure about, where you have to talk about how the steak--you have to think about how the steak is going to fall to figure out what its drag coefficient is going to be.And there's a lot of research on how objects-- how debris tumbles in the air.

That's just a measure of how streamlined an object is.Pointed straight in the direction of motion, a football is pretty streamlined, with a drag coefficient of just 0.14.That's better than a bullet.

- Man, I'm learning a lot today.That's what I'm gonna use with all the quarterbacks, going, "Man, your drag coefficient sucks.""What are we doing?

So for any good quarterback, the ability to throw a tight spiral is really important when you play in windy conditions.- A spinning ball will maintain its orientation, and therefore cut through the air with a smaller frontal area and a lower drag coefficient.This all makes sense, but here's where things get weird.
