Homework Statement
Need to energy dissipation by the drap force on a ball in free fall from height h and when it has reached terminal speed, assuming it happens before it hits thr ground. Drag force has magnitude bv^2, where b is drag coefficient and v is instantaneous speed of the ball.
Homework Equations
I have calculated in an earlier part of the problem that terminal velocity:
Vt=root(mg/b)
Also, isn't the energy dissipation equation:
Ediss=mgh
The Attempt at a Solution
I have the above equations but am unclear where to move next.
