Homework Statement
Terminal speed = 43 m s-1
Homework Equations
Acceleration in y direction when ball falling down: ay = - g + [itex]\alpha[/itex]vvy
where [itex]\alpha[/itex] = K/m
and v = (vx2 + vy2)^0.5
The Attempt at a Solution
Putting ay = 0 as there is no acceleration when terminal speed occurs.
However, is vvy equal to v2, i.e. 432 here?
Or do I have to compute its velocity in the y direction?
