An object is released from rest at time t = 0 and falls through the air, which exerts a resistive force such that the accelerati

on a of the object is given by a = g bv, where v is the object's speed and b is a constant. If limiting cases for large and small values of t are considered, which of the following is a possible expression for the speed of the object as an explicit function of time? A) v = g(1-e^-bt)/b B) v = (ge^bt)/b C) v = (g+a)t/b

Answer:

A) \frac{g}{b}(1-e^{-bt})

Explanation:

Since a = g - bv,

We can substitute a = dv/dt into the equation.

Then, the equation will be like dv/dt = g - bv.

So we got first order differential equation.

As known, v = 0 at t = 0, and v = g/b at t = ∞.

Since \frac{dv}{dt}= g - bv = b( \frac{g}{b} - v) ⇒ \frac{dv}{ \frac{g}{b} - v}= bdt

So take the integral of both side.

- ln (\frac{g}{b} - v) = bt + C

Since for t=0, v = 0 ⇒ C =- ln (\frac{g}{b})

v = \frac{g}{b} + e^{-bt-ln(\frac{g}{b})} = \frac{g}{b}- \frac{g}{b}e^{-bt} = \frac{g}{b}(1-e^{-bt})

This problem must be solved using a sketch. I attached an illustration of the problem.
You must trace the ray that reflects from the top off the table to your eyes. This how eyesight works, light rays reflects off the objects into your eyes.
Law of reflection tells us that light ray reflects off the surface at the same angle in which it falls on it( i attached another illustration of this).
Now we can write tangens equations:
tan(\theta)=\frac{h-0.8}{1}\\
tan(\theta)=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}
We solve for h:
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
2.8h-0.8\cdot 2.8=1.8-h\\
3.8h=1.8+2.24\\
h=\frac{4.04}{3.8}\\
h=1.06m
