2.1.28. [Level 2] In the year 2137 a hovering spacecraft releases a probe in the atmosphere far above the surface of New Earth, a planet orbiting Alpha Proximi. The gravita- tional acceleration g1 is constant and equal to 7.5 m/s². How far will the probe have traveled when it has reached 98% of its terminal speed? The probe's speed is governed by y = -g1 + cy where y is the probe's position above the planet's surface (expressed in m). c = 1.2 × 10-4 m-1

Question
2.1.28. [Level 2] In the year 2137 a hovering spacecraft
releases a probe in the atmosphere far above the surface of
New Earth, a planet orbiting Alpha Proximi. The gravita-
tional acceleration g1 is constant and equal to 7.5 m/s?. How
far will the probe have traveled when it has reached 98%
of its terminal speed? The probe's speed is governed by
ÿ = -g1 + cy
where y is the probe's position above the planet's surface
(expressed in m). c = 1.2 × 10-4 m-1.
