In a laboratory experiment, a sphere of diameter 8.0 mm is released from rest at t = 0 at the surface of honey in a jar, and the sphere's downward speed v when it travels in the honey is found to be given by v = Vmax (1 - e-t/), where Vmax=0.040 m/s and T = 0.50 s. (a) Obtain an expression for a(t). (b) Draw graphs for v(t) and a(t) for the time interval 0 to 2.0 s. (c) Obtain an expression for x(t), choosing the positive x axis as downward, and draw the graph for this func-
