Chapter 1, Problem 6P
In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

A lightweight drone (1.00 kg) is launched at 800 m high and moves upward at a constant velocity (while ignoring the effects of gravity only on the drone). The balloon, when measured at a horizontal distance from you, is about 1600 m away from you. At the moment when the drone moves, you shoot a bullet (weight =180 g) with an initial velocity of 1009 m/s at a fixed angle α, where sin α=3/5 and cos α= 4/5. (g = 9.8 m/s2)
c. What is the upward velocity of the drone?
