Question: Problem 2 : ( a ) [ 1 5 points ] Determine the velocity and position of a particle of mass m that is projected

Problem 2: (a)[15 points] Determine the velocity and position of a particle of mass m that is projected vertically upwards with initial velocity vo in a uniform gravitational field vec(g) in a medium with a frictional force proportional to the velocity. Let the y-axis point upwards.
(b)[5 points] Does this particle reach a terminal velocity? Explain.
(c)[5 points] Determine the time that it takes the particle to reach the maximum height.
(d)[10 points] Derive expressions for the velocity and the position of the particle on its upward trajectory for the case that vec(g)=0 and compare your answer with that of part (a)(i.e. Does it faster reach a maximum height or slower? Does it reach higher or lower? Explain.).
