In the descent phase of an extraterrestrial space mission, a spacecraft free falls through the planet's atmosphere. As it falls, it will reach a constant or terminal velocity when the air resistance force balances the gravitational attraction force. The terminal velocity is given by V₁ = where m is the spacecraft's mass [m], g is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet, p is the atmosphere's density [kg/m³], Cp is the spacecraft's drag coefficient, and A is the spacecraft's cross-sectional area [m²]. a) Write a function named terminalVelocity which calculates the terminal velocity an object. The function should . 2mg pCDA input m, g, p, CD, and A output the terminal velocity b) Write a program named q03.m which calculates the terminal velocity of a spacecraft at 10 km above the surface of various planets.

- My v and d are incorrect, please write the equations correctly.arrow_forward(Numerical analysis) Here’s a challenging problem for those who know a little calculus. The Newton-Raphson method can be used to find the roots of any equation y(x)=0. In this method, the (i+1)stapproximation,xi+1,toarootofy(x)=0 is given in terms of the ith approximation, xi, by the following formula, where y’ denotes the derivative of y(x) with respect to x: xi+1=xiy(xi)/y(xi) For example, if y(x)=3x2+2x2,theny(x)=6x+2 , and the roots are found by making a reasonable guess for a first approximation x1 and iterating by using this equation: xi+1=xi(3xi2+2xi2)/(6xi+2) a. Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the two roots of the equation 3x2+2x2=0. (Hint: There’s one positive root and one negative root.) b.
