Terminal velocity of a falling ball: For objects falling through air, the drag law is not linear but quadratic. A ball of mass m is released from rest and falls through the air under gravity. Air resistance exerts a drag force with magnitude kv2 in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball, with k being a constant. (a) Write down a force balance on the ball. What is the terminal velocity of the ball? (no need to solve differential equations to answer this) (b) Set up the differential equation for the velocity of the ball as a function of time v(t). Write down the the initial conditions. (c) Solve the differential equation in (b) for v(t). Check that your solution satisfies the initial conditions and approaches the terminal velocity you expect from (a) as t + 0. (Hint: You will need to use a partial fraction decomposition to solve.

In a unit cell of fcc structure, indicate the position of one of the tetrahedral interstitial sites by plotting the corresponding tetrahedron. do the same for one of the octahedral interstitial sites (in a separate fcc unit cell). mark the positions of all the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial sites in the unit cells. how many equivalent tetrahedral sites and how many equivalent octahedral sites are contained in a fcc unit cell, respectively. what is the coordination number for a tetrahedral site and what is the coordination number for an octahedral site?
