Answer

$s(t)=0.97(1-e^{-8866t})$

Work Step by Step

The distance traveled is: $s(t)=\dfrac{v_0 m}{k}(1-e^{-kt/m} ) ...(1)$ We have: $\dfrac{v_0 m}{k}=0.97$ Now, substitute the given data in the equation (1). $0.97=\dfrac{(0.86)(30.84)}{k}$ or, $k \approx 27.343$ Equation (1) becomes: $s(t)=\dfrac{v_0 m}{k} \times (1-e^{-kt/m} )=0.97(1-e^{-(27.343)t/30.84} )=0.97(1-e^{-8866t})$$
