A projectile weighing 64 lb is fired directly upward with a velocity 2000 ft/sec. Assume that the accerleration due to gravity is constant, and the air resists the motion with a force proportional to the velocity. When the velocity is 1000 ft/sec, the resisting force is 20 lb. Find the maximum height attained by the projectile, and the time required for it to reach this height.

please help this.
thankyou

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
