When an object falls in Earth's gravitational field (think of a skydiver jumping from an airplane or a marble falling in a tank of oil), it accelerates due to the force of gravity. If gravity were the only force acting on the object, then all objects-elephants and feathers alike would fall at the same rate. But gravity is not the only force present. Moving objects also experience resistance or friction from the surrounding medium; it would be air resistance for a skydiver and fluid resistance for a marble falling in oil. The strength of the resistance depends on several factors, among them the shape of the object and the thickness (or viscosity) of the surrounding medium. The effect of resistance is that a falling object does not accelerate forever, as it would without resistance. Eventually the gravitational force acting downward and the resistance force acting upward balance each other. As this balance is reached, the object approaches a constant terminal velocity.
The motion of moving objects is described by Newton's second law of motion, which says that Mass x acceleration = sum of external forces.
For a falling object there are two significant external forces: gravity and resistance. We let 2(1) be the position of the falling object where x = 0 is the point at which the object is released and the positive direction is downward (Figure 1).
1) kg per second
2) v(t) = mg/k( 1- exp(-kt/m))
3) VTare 9.8m/s( k=.1) ,1.96 (k=.5) and for k=1 it's .98 m/sec
4) terminal Velocity = mg/k and terminal velocity is inversely proportional to k
5) kg per metre
6) it's a prove that

Just question2(a) please. Thanks 2. An 10 kg object is hung from a spring attached to a fixed support. The spring constant of the spring is k = 40 N m-1. Suppose an external downward force of magnitude f(t) = 20e-2t N is applied to the object, and damping due to air resistance occurs with damping constant B = 40 N s m-1. Let y(t) denote the distance in metres of the object below its equilibrium position at time t...
Consider the problem of dropping an object from a high bridge. We'll consider two problems 40 no air resistance on the falling body, and (21 the effect of air resistance drag on the object. velocity Figure 1 -Falling body-dropping an object from a bridge. Write and solve a differential equation for the falling body without air resistance (that is, no drag). Note that the only force acting on the body is its weight due to gravity that is, Wamg where...
