Question
6. A skydiver of mass m = 60 kg leaps from a plane with an initial upward velocity of vo = +5 m/s.
Assume the diver experiences air resistance proportional and oppositely directed to their velocity,
expressed by the drag coefficient b = 11 N/(m/s). Also assume acceleration due to gravity is constant,
given by g = 9.8 m/s².
The velocity of the diver changes with time, modeled by the following differential equation:
du
dt
Solve for v(t) = the velocity of the diver at time t, and determine the diver's terminal velocity:
m
-mg - bv
lim v(t)
t→∞
