Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height

Reference no: EM13672660

A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 1.80 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed, the magnitude of its acceleration is given by a =g - bv. After falling 0.700 m, the Styrofoam effectively reaches its terminal speed, and then takes 5.10 s more to reach the ground.

a) What is the value of the constant b?

b) What is the acceleration at t = 0?

c) What is the acceleration when the speed is 0.150 m/s?
