Suppose that a car starts from rest its engine

Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 10 ft/s2, while air resistance provides 0.1 ft/s2 of deceleration for each foot per second of the car’svelocity. (a) Find the car’s maximum possible (limiting) velocity. (b) Find how long it takes the car to attain 90% of its limiting velocity, and how far it travels while doing so.
