Suppose that the upward force of air resistance on a fallingobject is proportional to the square of the velocity. For this case, thevelocity can be computed as
where
(a) If
(b) Make the same evaluation, butevaluate the integral with the multiple-segment trapezoidal rule. Use a sufficiently high n that you get three significant digits of accuracy.
