Get started for freeA model for the velocity v at time tof a certain object falling under the influence of gravity in a viscous medium is given by the equation .From the direction field shown in Figure 1.14, sketch the solutions with the initial conditions v(0) = 5, 8, and 15. Why is the value v = 8 called the “terminal velocity”?

In Problems 21–26, solve the initial value problem.
Nonlinear Spring.The Duffing equation where ris a constant is a model for the vibrations of amass attached to a nonlinearspring. For this model, does the period of vibration vary as the parameter ris varied?
Does the period vary as the initial conditions are varied? [Hint:Use the vectorized Runge–Kutta algorithm with h= 0.1 to approximate the solutions for r= 1 and 2,
with initial conditions for a = 1, 2, and 3.]
In Problems 14–24, you will need a computer and a programmed version of the vectorized classical fourth-order Runge–Kutta algorithm. (At the instructor’s discretion, other algorithms may be used.)†
Using the vectorized Runge–Kutta algorithm, approximate the solution to the initial value problem at . Starting with , continue halving the step size until two successive approximations of both anddiffer by at most 0.1.
In problems 1-6, identify the independent variable, dependent variable, and determine whether the equation is linear or nonlinear.
