An object of mass
Consider the following specific examples of this problem.
(a) A person drops from an airplane with a parachute. Find a reasonable value of
(b) In the Millikan oil drop experiment to measure the charge of an electron, tiny electrically charged drops of oil fall through air under gravity or rise under the combination of gravity and an electric field. Measurements can be made only after they have reached terminal speed. Find a formula for the time required for a drop starting at rest to reach
