Question

Sky Diving A sky diver jumps from a reasonable height above the ground. The air resistance she experiences is proportional to her velocity, and the constant of proportionality is 0.2. It can be shown that the downward velocity of the sky diver at time t is given by where t is measured in seconds (s) and v(t) is measured in feet per second (ft/s).
(a) Find the initial velocity of the sky diver.
(b) Find the velocity after 5 s and after 10 s.
(c) Draw a graph of the velocity function v(t).
(d) The maximum velocity of a falling object with wind resistance is called its terminal velocity. From the graph in part (c) find the terminal velocity of this sky diver.
