$A photograph of a model airplane pointing down, and a graph of the plane's airspeed V(t) versus time t.$

A model aircraft is pointed straight down with its engines off. After five seconds, it deploys its speedbrakes. This is a graph of its velocity. See Homework 1 Problem 9 for the full problem and a MATLAB script modeling the solution. (Photograph courtesy of Dean Ritola on flickr. License: CC BY-NC.)
