i'm not even sure where to get started with this one because the thorton and marion classical dynamics book is really awful.
BEGIN PROBLEM
Suppose a baseball, which has a mass of 150 g and a diameter D of 7 cm is released from rest. For a sphere in air, the dynamic drag is F_d=.25 D^2 V^2
let F_d=kmv^2, find the terminal velocity of a baseball.
END PROBLEM
the question seems really vague given that we're not told if its being released in space, off of something, thrown or whatever. any suggestions? I am lost as to how to approach this problem.
