We consider a projectile motion against a linear drag force D = −b∗v, where v is the velocity

Explanation:

(A) Sum of forces on the projectile in the y direction:

-bv − mg = ma

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time:

-bv − mg = m dv/dt

Separate the variables:

bv + mg = -m dv/dt

-1/m dt = 1/(bv + mg) dv

-b/m dt = b/(bv + mg) dv

Integrate:

-b/m t |₀ᵗ = ln(bv + mg) |₀ᵛ

-b/m (t − 0) = ln(bv + mg) − ln(0 + mg)

-b/m t = ln(bv + mg) − ln(mg)

-b/m t = ln((bv + mg) / mg)

e^(-b/m t) = (bv + mg) / mg

bv + mg = mg e^(-b/m t)

bv = -mg + mg e^(-b/m t)

v = -mg/b (1 − e^(-b/m t))

Velocity is derivative of position with respect to time:

dz/dt = -mg/b (1 − e^(-b/m t))

Separate the variables:

-b/(mg) dz = (1 − e^(-b/m t)) dt

Integrate:

-b/(mg) z |ᵧᶻ = (t + m/b e^(-b/m t)) |₀ᵗ

-b/(mg) (z − h) = (t + m/b e^(-b/m t)) − (0 + m/b e^(0))

-b/(mg) (z − h) = t + m/b e^(-b/m t) − m/b

z − h = -mg/b (t + m/b e^(-b/m t) − m/b)

z = h − mg/b (t + m/b e^(-b/m t) − m/b)

(B) Repeat steps from part A, but this time in the x direction.

-bv = ma

-bv = m dv/dt

-b/m dt = 1/v dv

-b/m t |₀ᵗ = ln v |ᵥᵛ

-b/m (t − 0) = ln vₓ − ln v₀ₓ

-b/m t = ln (vₓ / v₀ₓ)

vₓ / v₀ₓ = e^(-b/m t)

vₓ = v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t)

dx/dt = v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t)

dx = v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t) dt

x |₀ˣ = -m/b v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t) |₀ᵗ

x − 0 = -m/b v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t) − (-m/b v₀ₓ e^(0))

x = -m/b v₀ₓ e^(-b/m t) + m/b v₀ₓ

x = m/b v₀ₓ (1 − e^(-b/m t))

To find z(x), find t in terms of x then substitute into z(t).

b x / (m v₀ₓ) =  1 − e^(-b/m t)

e^(-b/m t) = 1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)

-b/m t = ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ))

t = -m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ))

z = h − mg/b (-m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) + m/b (1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) − m/b)

z = h − mg/b (-m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) + m/b − x / v₀ₓ − m/b)

z = h − mg/b (-m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) − x / v₀ₓ)

The range is when z = 0:

0 = h − mg/b (-m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) − x / v₀ₓ)

h = mg/b (-m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) − x / v₀ₓ)

bh/(mg) = -m/b ln(1 − b x / (m v₀ₓ)) − x / v₀ₓ

-(b/m)² h/g = ln(1 − (b/m) x / v₀ₓ) + (b/m) x / v₀ₓ

Unfortunately, this can't be simplified further without using something called the Lambert W function.

(C) The range of a projectile without air resistance launched horizontally from a height h is:

x = v₀ₓ √(2h/g)

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter a=1.6m/sec^2

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So F=70\times 1.6=112 N

So external force will be 112 N

You calculate the density of a block of aluminum to be 2.68 g/cm3. You look up the density of a block of aluminum at room temper
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Systematic errors.

Explanation:

The density of the aluminium was calculated by a human and this is not natural but can be due to errors in the calibration of the scale for measuring the weight or taking readings from the measuring cylinder.

Random errors are natural errors. Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment. Systematic errors are due to imprecision or problems with instruments.
