An initially stationary iron ball is dropped from rest inside of a steel drum containing a liquid. Its acceleration is given by $a = 6.1 - 1.5v$ cm/s$^2$ where $v$ is the velocity in cm/s. At $t = 2s$ (2 seconds after it is released), what is the iron ball's downward velocity in cm/s?

An iron ball with a mass of 0.5 g is moving down in a liquid with a viscosity coefficient b = 0.01 s-1, which exerts a friction force in the ball proportional to the square velocity fR = -bv2. Assuming the ball starts at rest in t=0, find the speed and position as a time function, and graph them.

A steel ball of mass 2.2 kg is pressed against a spring of constant 12 kN/m until it compresses it over a distance of 10 cm. The ball is then released and climbs up a frictionless ramp of height 1 m. What is the ball's speed at the top of the incline?

A small ball of mass m, initially at rest at A, slides without friction over a hemispherical surface of radius r (see figure). When the ball is at its lowest point, the force exerted by the surface is:
