Question Number 177546 by peter frank last updated on 07/Oct/22

A particle is projected vertically  upward in a constant gravitation  field with initial speed (v_0 ).show  that there is retarding proportional  to the square of the instantaneous  speed,the speed of the partical  when it returns on the initial  position is   ((v_o v_c )/( (√(v_o ^2 +v_c ^2 ))))  where v_c  is  terminal speed
