We saw that a differential equation describing the velocity v of a falling mass subject to air resistance proportional to the in

stantaneous velocity is
m*dv/dt = mg-kv,
where k > 0 is a constant of proportionality.

The positive direction is downward.
a. Solve the equation subject to the initial condition v(0) = v0.
b. Use the solution in part (a) to determine the limiting, or terminal, velocity of the mass.
c. If the distance s, measured from the point where the mass was released above ground, is related to velocity v by ds/dt = v(t), find an explicit expression for s(t) if s(0) = 0.

Answer:

a) v(t) = [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g]/K

where K = k/m

v(t) = [((kv₀/m) - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g] (m/k)

b) Terminal velocity = mg/k

c) s(t) = (gt/K) - [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ]

where K = k/m

s(t) = (mgt/k) - [((kv₀/m) - g))e⁻ᴷᵗ]

Step-by-step explanation:

m(dv/dt) = mg-kv

Divide through by m

(dv/dt) = g - (k/m)v

Let k/m = K

dv/dt = g-Kv

dv/(g - Kv) = dt

∫ dv/(g - Kv) = ∫ dt

∫ dv/(Kv - g) = - ∫ dt

(1/K) In (Kv - g) = -t + c (where c = constant of integration)

In (Kv - g) = - Kt + Kc

At t = 0, v = v₀

In (Kv₀ - g) = Kc

c = (1/K) In (Kv₀ - g)

In (Kv - g) = - Kt + Kc becomes

In (Kv - g) = - Kt + In (Kv₀ - g)

In (Kv - g) = [In (Kv₀ - g)] - Kt

Kv - g = (Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ

Kv = (Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g

v(t) = [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g]/K

K = k/m

v(t) = [((kv₀/m) - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g] (m/k)

b) At terminal velocity, dv/dt = 0

From the starting differential equation,

m(dv/dt) = mg-kv

mg - kv = 0

kv = mg

v = mg/k

c) v = ds/dt = [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g]/K

(ds/dt) = [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g]/K

Kds = [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g] dt

∫ Kds = ∫ [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ + g] dt

Ks = -K((Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ) + gt

s(t) = (gt/K) - [(Kv₀ - g) e⁻ᴷᵗ]

K = k/m

s = (mgt/k) - [((kv₀/m) - g))e⁻ᴷᵗ]

Please please help! DUE MIDNIGHT!!!!!
marysya [2.9K]
We have to convert 2% in to a decimal then multiply it into the x-value which is the months with the addition of 500 because that is the start value.If you were to graph this it would be a linear fuction, y=0.2x+500. The rate of change is found by slope, so rise over run. taking 2 points on the graph and do this
(y 2-y 1)/(x 2-x 1) and graph the equation and get two of the points and find the slope for the rate of change.

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n<br><br> n = –6<br> n = –3<br> n = 3<br> n = 6
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

n =  -3

(second option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we will distribute the 11 (n-1)

11 (n - 1) + 35 = 3n

11n - 11 + 35 = 3n

Now, we will combine -11 and 35 (because they are like terms)

11n + 24 = 3n

Now, to isolate x as a positive, I will subtract 3n from both sides

11n + 24 = 3n

- 3n           - 3n

8n + 24 = 0

Now, I will subtract 24 from both sides to isolate n

8n + 24 = 0

      - 24    - 24

8n = -24

Now, we will divide both sides by 8 to find "n"

8n  = -24

÷8       ÷8

n = -3

This means that n is equal to -3

(n =  -3)

Factor by grouping : xy + 6y - 2x - 12 (if you don't know the answer don't comment)
alexira [117]
<h3> Hey There today we will solve your problem</h3>

First we will factor out y from xy+6y which gives us y(x+6)

Next we will factor out -2 from -2x-12 which gives us -2(x+6)

This gives us the equation

y(x+6)-2(x+6)

then factor out the common term  x+6<em> and we get</em>

<em />\left(x+6\right)\left(y-2\right)
