Concept explainers
Velocity of a Raindrop The downward velocity of a falling raindrop at time t is modeled by the function
- (a) Find the terminal velocity of the raindrop by evaluating limt→∞ v(t). (Use the result of Example 3.)
- (b) Graph v(t), and use the graph to estimate how long it takes for the velocity of the raindrop to reach 99% of its terminal velocity.
