Chapter 6, Problem 20P
A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.00 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed, the magnitude of its acceleration is given by a = g − Bv. After falling 0.500 m, the Styrofoam effectively reaches terminal speed and then takes 5.00 s more to reach the ground. (a) What is the value of the constant B? (b) What is the acceleration at t = 0? (c) What is the acceleration when the speed is 0.150 m/s?
