A 480-lb object is launched from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 70 ft/sec. The atmosphere resists the motion of the object with a force of 5 lb for each ft/sec of speed. Assuming that the only other force acting on the object is gravity, find the time it takes for the object to reach its maximum height:

When the velocity v of an object is very large, the magnitude
of the force due to air resistance is proportional to v squared
with the force acting in opposition to the motion of the object. A
shell of mass 5 kg is shot upward from the ground with an initial
velocity of 800 m/sec. If the magnitude of the force due to air
resistance is (0.1)v squared, when will the shell reach its
maximum height above the ground? What...
