Very cool. Thanks much, this is a good place to begin. I imagine I'll be back at some point when I hit a wall. Thanks for your help.

I somewhat expected that- can you offer me a place to start, something to read, some details I MUST keep in mind, something along those lines? I have no problem doing research/legwork, I simply have no idea where to start, beyond a basic idea that with sufficient velocity/mass an object would...

Hm... Let me try anew. I'm attempting to find the 'pull,' so to speak, that an object moving through an air mass would generate on that mass, similar to the pushed air mass of a subway train. Is there a way to predict this, or have I bitten off a theoretical bite that is too big to chew? In...

Just to clarify, I'm working within that perfect physics problem world, and therefore am ignoring the effects of air friction and compression. I'm simply looking to understand how to quantify the effect such an object would have on a system.

I'm writing a book and I have a question about the effects of a fast moving object on an air mass. Strictly speaking, I am wondering how to compute the effects of a human-sized (70 kilo, roughly,) object moving in excess of 30,000 miles an hour on a hypothetical mass. I'm recently out of college...
