Question
A box with a mass of 0.6-kg falls from a very tall building. While free-falling it is subjected to a frictional drag force given by Fdrag = bv2, where v is the speed of the object and b=5.5 N•s2/m2 What is the terminal speed that the box will reach?

Answer:
1.03m/s
Explanation:
According to the question
Fdrag = bv²
now Fdrag = weight of the box
that is Fdrag = mg
where m = mass of the box, 0.6 Kg
and g = acceleration due to gravity
thus,
Fdrag = bv² becomes
mg = bv²
making v the subject of formula
v = 1.03m/s
Answer:
the terminal speed that the box will reach v = 1.0355 m/s
Explanation:
The drag force is the resultant force component that acts in the relative motion direction of the body.
Here we have Fdrag = bv²
But Fdrag = mg
Therefore F = 0.6 × 9.81 =5.886 N
v² = Fdrag / b = 5.886 N/(5.5 N s²/m²)
v = 1.0355 m/s
