Question:

In Exercises consider an eight-pound object dropped from a height of 5000 feet, where the air resistance is proportional to the velocity.

Use the result of Exercise 31 to write the position of the object as a function of time. Approximate the velocity of the object when it reaches ground level.


Data from in Exercise 31

Write the velocity of the object as a function of time when the velocity after 5 seconds is approximately -101 feet per second. What is the limiting value of the velocity function?
