If an object with mass m is dropped from rest, one model for its speed v after t

Chapter 4, Problem 78

(choose chapter or problem)

If an object with mass m is dropped from rest, one model for its speed v after t seconds, taking air resistance into account, is v mt c s1 2 e 2ctym d where t is the acceleration due to gravity and c is a positive constant. (In Chapter 9 we will be able to deduce this equation from the assumption that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object; c is the proportionality constant.) (a) Calculate limt l ` v. What is the meaning of this limit? (b) For fixed t, use lHospitals Rule to calculate limcl 01 v. What can you conclude about the velocity of a falling object in a vacuum?
