A body of mass m=10−2 kg is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force F = −kv2. Its initial speed is v0=10ms−1. If after 10 s, its energy is 18 mv20, the value of k will be
10−4 kgm−1
From the given energy, find final velocity at t=10 s.
Now, use the second law of motion F=mdvdt=−kv2 and put limits to find the value of k which comes out to be 10−4 kgm−1.
