Question:

Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 10 ft/s2, while air resistance provides 0.1 ft/s2 of deceleration for each foot per second of the car’s velocity.

(a) Find the car’s maximum possible (limiting) velocity.

(b) Find how long it takes the car to attain 90% of its limiting velocity, and how far it travels while doing so.
