Free Fall Drag

A tennis ball is released from rest. The acceleration that the ball experiences is given by: \(a = g - kv^2\), where \(g = {{params.g}} \ \rm{m/s^2}\) and \(k = {{params.k}} \ \rm{m^{-1}}\).

Part 1

What is the speed of the ball at \(t= {{params.t}} \ \rm{s}\)?

Answer Section

Please enter in a numeric value in \(\rm{m/s}\).

Part 2

What is the ball’s terminal velocity?

Answer Section

Please enter in a numeric value in \(\rm{m/s}\).
