%inputs

%Drag coefficient
c_d = 0.8
 
%Area m^2
A = 0.2

%Density kg/m^3
rho = 1.2

%Velocity
v = [2:10];

drag_force = rho*A*v.^2*c_d*0.5;

plot(v,drag_force,\'color\',\'r\')

xlabel(\'velocity\')
ylabel(\'Drag force\')
grid on

Output:

The drag force is caluclated for different velocity values(varying from 2m/s to 10 m/s) and a graphical represntation output is as attached for varying drag force with respect to velocity.
