Question
Find the velocity v(t) and position x(t) of a particle of
mass m that is subject to a frictional force only f =-av
(retarding force or drag) proportional to the velocity.
(where a are positive constants) ;(let t = )
m
v(t) = voe 1/t
%3D
v(t) = -v̟e-t/t
x(t) = xo + Vot(1+e¯t/")
x(t) = xo - VoT(1 - et)
