1)-A car is running on a straight road with a speed of 80 Km/hr. It runs out of fuel.
The destination is still 5 Km away. The driver knowing it puts off the gear and leaves
the car to run at its own. The resistance due to friction and air together is
proportional to the speed of the car. After 3 Km run the speed the car reduce to 40
Km/hr. Find the time it will to be to reach its destination.
2) We throw a particle vertically upward from the surface of the earth with a speed
of 100 Km/hr. Assuming, that the air resistance is proportional to the speed, find the
greatest height it can attain.
3)-Suppose that a body is heated to a temperature T 1 ,and kept for cooling in
