otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with g = 9.81 m/sec2 in the MKS system and g = 32 ft/sec2 in the U.S. Customary System.An object of mass 5 kg is given an initial downward velocity of 50 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -10v, where y is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 500 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.

otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with g = 9.81 m/sec2 in the MKS system and g = 32 ft/sec2 in the U.S. Customary System.An object of mass 5 kg is given an initial downward velocity of 50 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -10v, where y is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 500 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.
ANSWER:Solution:Step 1:The objective of this question is to determine when the object will strike on the floor.
