A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.00 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed, the magnitude of its acceleration is given by \(a = g - Bv\). After falling 0.500 m, the Styrofoam effectively reaches terminal speed and then takes 5.00 s more to reach the ground. (a) What is the value of the constant \(B\)? (b) What is the acceleration at \(t = 0\)? (c) What is the acceleration when the speed is 0.150 m/s?
