[7 pts] 1. Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 4 ft/s2 while air resistance provides 0.
1 ft/s2 of deceleration for each ft per s (foot per second) of the car’s velocity. Set up an Initial Value Problem (IVP) for the velocity of the car. Solve the IVP and use the solution to find the car’s limiting velocity. If the car starts at position x(0) = x0 = 0, ft, what position will it be at after 1 2 hour? Be sure to set up your coordinate system and include units in all of your answers.
1 answer:
Answer:
a) Initial Value Problem
dv/dt = 4 - 0.1v
v(0) = 0
b) solution to the IVP
v(t) = 40(1 - e^(-t/10))
c) Limiting velocity
Vo = 40 ft/s
Position of the car after 12 hours
X = 14,390 ft

Explanation:
From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height
To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go
b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula
Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height
So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high
a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point
Solving the quadratic equation
So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s
c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:
Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:
Hello!
Use the equation:
Where:
m = mass of the object (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (≈9.8 m/s)
h = height above ground (m)
Plug the given values into the equation:
PE = 7500 · 9.8 · 100
PE = 7,350,000 Joules.
