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]

I NEED HELP PLEASE !!! <br> What is the value for x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> x =
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

because we know its an isosceles triangle angle A and C will both be the same and since we know A = 69 C will also be 69. we also know that angles in a triangle add to 180 so take away the two 69s from the 180 to get 42

then we work backwards if its 5x + 2 then we need to do 5x - 2 to get 40 then divide it by 5 to get your answer 8!

(sorry if the explanation doesnt make sense )

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 54 inches of ribbon, Tino has 10.5 feet of ribbon, and
zzz [600]

Answer:

1800 inches, 150 feet, and 50 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets start in inches. multiply 45 by 3, to get 135 feet, and add that with 10.5 to get 145.5 feet. multiply that by 12 to get 1746 inches, and add 54 to that to get 1800 inches. divided that by 12 to get 150, and divided 150 by 3 to get 50.

HELP, PLEASE I NEED IT! π∆π<br><br>Applying the 30-60-90 Theorem, Solve this.​
anastassius [24]

Answer:

'y' would be 24

'x' would be 12\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of sides in a 30-60-90 triangle is, respectively, 1 : \sqrt{3} : 2

so the side across from the 60 degree angle is \sqrt{3} times the side of the 30°

the side across from the 90 degree angle is double the side of the 30°

so in this problem 'y' would be 24 and 'x' would be 12\sqrt{3}
