Suppose an object falls from a great height on a planet where the constant of the acceleration of gravity is g = 7.84. Assume that the resistance of the atmosphere is proportional to the square of the velocity of the object with constant of proportionality k = 0.25. Establish and solve an Initial Value Problem to express the velocity of the object as a function of time. Find the terminal velocity of the object. Graph this function. Then express the fall distance as a function of time. Graph this function. Hint: g ? kv2 = (?g ? (?k)*v) (?g + (?k)*v)
