question 16

Essay

An object with mass is dropped from rest and we assume that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object.If is the distance dropped after t seconds, then the speed is and the acceleration is .If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the downward force on the object is where is a positive constant, and Newton's Second Law gives Find the limiting velocity.
