Q. A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 1.50 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed, the magnitude of its acceleration is given by a = g - bv. After falling 0.400 m, the styrofoam effectively reaches its terminal speed, and then takes 4.90 s more to reach the ground.

(a) What is the value of the constant b?
Your answer is incorrect.
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. s-1

(b) What is the acceleration at t = 0?
2Your answer is correct. m/s2 (down)

(c) What is the acceleration when the speed is 0.150 m/s?
3 m/s2 (down)
