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]

Jim has a membership to a comic book club. He pays $9.00 per month for membership and $2.50 for each comic book he purchases. Wh
tamaranim1 [39]
The answer is C) the slope is 2.50  and the y-intercept is 9, assuming the question refers to the parameters of his monthly cost.

His cost function could be described as y= 2.5x + 9, where x is the number of comic books he purchases. If he buys no comic books, he still has to pay the $9 membership fee.

Using this formula l=A 1/2 what is the length of one side of a square with an area of 1,936 square kilometers? (A is the area of
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<u>c.)44 kilometers</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let

length =L

and

Area =A

Now

we have

Area [A]=1936 square kilometers

now

As we know that

Area of square :length *length

A=l*l

A=l²

Substituting value of A

1936=l²

doing square root on both side

\sqrt{1936}=\sqrt{l²}

we get

l=\sqrt{2*2*2*2*11*11}

l=2*2*11

l=44 kilometers

So

<u>the length of one side of a </u><u>square</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>kilometers</u><u>.</u><u />
