A body of mass m is moving vertically downward from rest in a fluid that exerts a resistance force of magnitude kv on the body, where k is a positive constant and v is the speed of the body. The terminal speed of the body is:

Step 1
First, we need to identify the forces acting on the body. There are two forces: the gravitational force (mg) acting downward and the resistance force (kv) acting upward. Show more…
