Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 10P
For Problem 1.6, find the distance the particles travel before reaching 99 percent of terminal speed. Plot the distance traveled as a function of time.
1.6 In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

2.
On an alien planet (with unknown gravity), a 5 kilogram object is dropped
from rest 10 meters above the ground. In the atmosphere of this planet, the object is
estimated to have a drag constant of –3 kg/sec. (Assume drag is proportional to
velocity) The object takes 15 seconds to hit the ground. Use this information to
calculate the acceleration due to gravity on this planet.
Review
ConstantS
In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and
jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best
athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their
"hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax
be his maximum height above the floor.
Part A
To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 (moving up from ymax /2 to ymax and then
moving down to ymax/2) to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance.
