In a later chapter we will be able to show, under certain assumptions, that the velocity v(t) of a falling raindrop at time t is

v(t) = vT(1 − e−gt/vT) where g is the acceleration due to gravity and vT is the terminal velocity of the raindrop. (a) Find lim t→[infinity] v(t).

Answer:

\lim_{t \to \infty} v(t) =vT

Explanation:

Using distributive propierty:

v(t)=vT(1-\frac{e^{-gt} }{vT} )=vT-e^{-gt}

So:

\lim_{t\to \infty} vT-e^{-gt}

The limit of the sum of two functions is equal to the sum of their limits, therefore:

\lim_{t\to \infty} vT-e^{-gt} = \lim_{t\to \infty} vT -  \lim_{t\to \infty} e^{-gt}

The limit of a constant function is the constant, hence:

\lim_{t\to \infty} vT=vT

Now, let's solve the other limit:

\lim_{t\to \infty} e^{-gt}=e^{ \lim_{t \to \infty} -gt}

The limit of a constant times a function is equal to the product of the constant and the limit of the function, so:

\lim_{t \to \infty} -gt}=-g\lim_{t \to \infty} t}=-g(\infty)

-g(\infty)=-\infty

Therefore:

e^{(-\infty)} =0

Finally:

\lim_{t\to \infty} vT-e^{-gt}=vT-0=vT

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of (16.6 m/s)x^. ignoring air resistance, the average acceleration of
Andrei [34K]

Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

Write a note on unity of ant​
Tom [10]

Answer: When a pathogen enters their colony, ants change their behavior to avoid the outbreak of disease. In this way, they protect the queen, brood and young workers from becoming ill. These results, from a study carried out in collaboration between the groups of Sylvia Cremer at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) and of Laurent Keller at the University of Lausanne, are published today in the journal Science.

Explanation: search for it.
