    Terminal Velocity of a Ball Given Velocity and Acceleration

    Thank you so much! I forgot that air resistance can be proportional to v and v^2.

    Terminal Velocity of a Ball Given Velocity and Acceleration

    v = mg/b 1. What does b stand for? 2. I'm sure it is 40 m/s. I came up with multiple answers, but they were all smaller than 40 m/s. 3. They don't give a value for mass. (If I understand what b stands for, I may be able to figure it out.)

    Terminal Velocity of a Ball Given Velocity and Acceleration

    Well I know air resistance is proportional to velocity, but I don't see how I can find air resistance without knowing surface area, mass, density, temperature, etc.

    Terminal Velocity of a Ball Given Velocity and Acceleration

    Homework Statement A steel ball is dropped from a great height. When its velocity is 20m/s its acceleration is 7.35 m/s^2. What is it's terminal velocity? Homework Equations V - V_o = at F = ma (Air resistance isn't given, so I don't think drag force can be used.) The Attempt at a...
