The drag force for falling objects due to air friction depends on the velocity of the object and is given by the equation [Fdrag = bv] where b is a constant that depends on the fluid through which the object moves and the radius of the object.
(a)
Find the terminal speed (in m/s) of an object of mass 54 kg for which
b = 17 kg/s.
(b)
Will the terminal speed be different if the object's initial speed is different?
Yes or No?
Estimate the speed at which the drag on a 150-g steel ball becomes equal to about 1% of its weight. (The density of steel is about 7900 kg/m3, and C for a sphere is about equal to 0.5.) Take the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3.
The speed is m/s.

The eccentricity of the orbit is______ and the orbit is ______Choose one (.Elliptical, Parabolic, Hyperbolic)
