Homework Statement
Two identical eggs of mass 0.1 kg are dropped from rest at height h. One is dropped on Earth and the other on the surface of the moon. Egg dropped on Earth experiences a force due to air resistance (F=-kv) where v is velocity of egg and k is constant of proportinality equal to Ns/m. No forces of resistance on the moon.
Gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s^2 Gravity on moon = 1.62 m/s^2
Homework Equations
What is terminal velocity of the egg falling through Earth’s atmosphere?
From what height will the eggs hit the ground at the same speed?
Should the value of k at a high altitude be >, <, or = to k at sea level and why?
