Question

Problem 5: The aerodynamic resistance to motion of a car is nearly proportional to the square of its velocity. Additional friction resistance is constant, so that the acceleration of the

car when coasting can be written as a = -C – Czv², where C1 and C2 are constants. If the car's initial velocity is vo when it starts coasting, derive an expression for the distance D for the car to stop.
