An object of mass 4 kg is given an initial downward velocity of 60 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is - 8v, where v is the velocity
of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 500 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity
is 9.81 m/sec² and let x(t) represent the distance the object has fallen in t seconds.
Determine the equation of motion of the object.
x(t) =
