What is q1?
Show answer
An object of mass 2.02.0 kg falls with linear drag and reaches a terminal velocity of 4040 m/s (g=9.8g = 9.8 m/s squared). Calculate the drag constant bb. [2 points]
What is q2?
Show answer
Explain why an object released from rest with linear drag never quite reaches its terminal velocity. [2 points]
