The first order linear differential equation
mv' + bv = mg
is a simplified description of the motion (velocity) of an object of mass m dropping vertically under constant gravitational acceleration g and linear air resistance (viscous friction) -bv. Assuming the object begins its motion from rest, and at an initial height h from the surface of the earth:

a) Calculate the velocity of the object as a function of time using the Laplace transform approach.
b) Does the object reach a terminal velocity? If so, what is this terminal velocity? Note that the terminal velocity is the (constant) velocity reached after a sufficiently large time.
c) Compare the solution obtained for velocity in a) with the solution for the case where b = 0 (free fall under gravity without friction). Provide rough sketches of the solutions for both cases.

The width of a rectangle is 20 units. can the perimeter p of the rectangle be 64 units when its length x is 11 units? no, because p = 2x + 2(20) no, because p β‰  2x + 2(20) yes, because p β‰  2x + 2(20) yes, because p = 2x + 2(20)
