Answer

(a) $\lim\limits_{t \to \infty}v(t) = v^*$ (b) $0.47~s$

Work Step by Step

(a) $\lim\limits_{t \to \infty}v(t)$ $=\lim\limits_{t \to \infty}v^*(1-e^{-gt/v^*})$ $=v^*(1-0)$ $= v^*$ (b) $v(t) = (1)(1-e^{-9.8~t})$ The terminal velocity is $1~m/s$ On the graph, we can see that the velocity reaches $0.99~m/s$ after $0.47~s$
