An object with cross section \( A \) is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is \( v_{0x} \) at \( t_0 = 0 \text{ s} \). Air resistance is not negligible. a. Show that the velocity at time \( t \) is given by the expression \[ v_x = \frac{v_{0x}}{1 + C_d \rho A v_{0x} t / 2m} \] b. A 1.6-m-wide, 1.4-m-high, 1500 kg car with a drag coefficient of 0.35 hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20 m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the carβs speed drops to 10 m/s? To 5 m/s?
