For t < 0, an object of mass m experiences no force and moves in the positive x direction with a constant speed vi. Beginning at t = 0, when the object passes position x = 0, it experiences a net resistive force proportional to the square of its speed:

- A brick of mass 1.00 kg slides down an icy roof inclined at 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. If the brick starts from rest, how fast is it moving when it reaches the edge of the roof 2.18 m away?

- The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn’t need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS’s sails was measured to be 1.12 mN.
