Vertical Motion   A falling object encounters air resistance that is proportional to its velocity. The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 meters per second per second. The net change in velocity is dv/dt = kv - 9.8.

(a) Find the velocity of the object as a function of time if the initial velocity is \(v_{0}\).

(b) Use the result of part (a) to find the limit of the velocity as t approaches infinity.

(c) Integrate the velocity function found in part (a) to find the position function s.
