Consider a very small particle of mass, m, dropped in a fluid. The particle experiences a drag force, FD. The constant that relates the drag force to the velocity V is K. Determine the distance covered as the partcile accelerate from rest to 50 percent of its terminal velocity, Vt, in terms of K, m, and acceleration due to gravity, g.

Consider a particle of mass m confined to a one-dimensional box of length L and in a state with normalized wavefunction. For a partide in a box the energy is given by En = n2h2/8mL2 and, because the potential energy is zero, all of this energy is kinetic.
