Let v(t) be the velocity of an object of mass m in free-fall near the earths surface.

Question:

Let v(t) be the velocity of an object of mass m in free-fall near the earth’s surface. If we assume that air resistance is proportional to v2, then v satisfies the differential equation m dv/dt = −g + kvfor some constant k > 0.

(a) Set a = (g/k)/2 and rewrite the differential equation as k m dv dt (a-v) Then solve using Separation of
