Randall D. Knight β Work and Kinetic Energy: Problem 24
A 15 g plastic ball is thrown horizontally at 12 m/s from x = 0 m. It experiences an increasing headwind that exerts a drag force $F_x = -(2.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m})x$. How far does the ball travel before reversing direction and being blown backward?
