A test projectile is fi red horizontally into a viscous liquid with a velocity v 0 .

Question:

A test projectile is fi red horizontally into a viscous liquid with a velocity v0. The retarding force is proportional to the square of the velocity, so that the acceleration becomes a = −kv2. Derive expressions for the distance D traveled in the liquid and the corresponding time t required to reduce the velocity to v0/2. Neglect any vertical motion.
