Question:

Let us make the (unrealistic) assumption that a boat of mass m gliding with initial velocity vo in water is slowed by a viscous retarding force of magnitude bv2, where b is a constant.
(a) Find and sketch v(t). How long does it take the boat to reach a speed of v0/1000?
(b) Find x (t). How far does that boat travel in this time? Let m = 200kg, vo = 2m/s, and b = 0.2 Nm– 2s2.
