An object of mass 3.1 kg with a certain initial speed on a horizontal surface comes to rest after traveling a distance of 15.9 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the horizontal surface is 0.27, what is the initial speed of the object? Express your answer in m/s, to at least one digit after the decimal point.

You drop an object of mass m from a tall building. Suppose the only forces affecting its motion are gravity, and air resistance proportional to the object's speed with positive constant of proportionality k. Let g denote gravitational acceleration (a positive constant). Express the total force in terms of m, g, and the object's velocity v, where upward displacement is considered positive. F = mg - kv Newton's second law tells us that force is equal to mass x acceleration, F = ma. Relating acceleration to velocity, rewrite the equation for total force above as a first order differential equation for v as a function of t. Denote v' as dv dt v(t) m(- dr) this is not an equation. Solve this differential equation for v(t) with the initial condition v(0) = V0. = mg (1-e ==) m k Find the terminal Terminal velocity = mg k X velocity. X syntax error: X X
