A glass bead of radius is dropped from rest into glycerine. You will make the program step its speed forward a hundredth of a millisecond at a time, compare the speed it levels off at with the formula, and find how long it takes to reach of it.
The idea. Three forces act: the weight , the buoyancy , and Stokes' drag . The acceleration is their total over . The terminal speed is .
Your tasks.
a from the three forces.vt from the formula.vt.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
