hey /sci/, doin this on paper is fine but, how can i do this in Excel?
"A 10 kg object is launched vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 50.0 m/s. In addition to the force of gravity, there is a frictional force which is proportional to the velocity according to f=-bv. Note that this frictional force is negative (down) when the object is moving up, but positive when the object is moving down.
USING EXCEL, numerically generate position-time (y vs t) graphs for the object using b = 0. Try to use several different step-sizes for Δt, such as 1.0 s, 0.1 s, and 0.001 s."
