Answer: Unless otherwise stated, in the following problems
Chapter 3, Problem 3E(choose chapter or problem)
Unless otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with \(g=9.81\ m/sec^{2}\) in the MKS system and \(g=32\ ft/sec^{2}\) in the U.S. Customary System.
If the object in Problem 1 has a mass of 500 kg instead of 5 kg, when will it strike the ground? [Hint: Here the exponential term is too large to ignore. Use Newton’s method to approximate the time 𝑡 when the object strikes the ground (see Appendix B).]
