A boat is towed at the rate of 12mi/hr. At t = 0, the towing line is cast off and a man in the boat begins to row in the direction of motion exerting force of 20 lb. The combined weight of the man and the boat is 480lb. The water resists the motion with a force equal to 1.7v lb, where v is the velocity of the boat in feet per second. Derive a DE leading the velocity of the boat.

A jogger with mass m = 55 kg uses energy at a rate of P = 802 W when she jogs on horizontal ground at a constant speed of s = 3.5 m/s. The efficiency of her “human engine” however, is e = 0.27. (In other words, the power used for locomotion is e = 0.27 times the total power.) Q) Write an expression for the rate of energy expenditure whenshe jogs at the same constant speed up a slope of 4.99 degrees. Assume whatever frictional or drag forces are the same in each case. Your answer should be in terms of the symbols given in the problem statement and g(9.80 m/s^2)
A 26-pound weight stretches a certain spring 2 feet when the weight and spring are placed in a fluid that resists motion with a force equal to four times the speed. If the weight is stopped at the equilibrium position and then given a velocity of 5 ft / s, find the equation of motion. The DE that models this phenomenon is y "+ Xy '+ (p/l)y = 0, where X is the resistance force of the medium, p is the weight and l the stretch it produces in the spring.
A small rocket is launched vertically from rest and it accelerates uniformly at 26 m/s² for a period of 13 s, at which point all of its fuel is used. The rocket then continues to travel freely in the vertical direction until it eventually reaches its maximum altitude, after which it falls to earth. Working to 4 significant figures, calculate for the rocket: (a) Its velocity at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m/s (b) Its altitude at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m (c) (i) The time taken for the rocket to slow from the point it runs out of fuel until it reaches maximum altitude. S (ii) The total time taken to reach its maximum altitude S (d) The maximum altitude reached m (e) Its velocity at the instant just prior to impact with the ground. m/s
A rocket is launched on a constant thrust mission in a vertical trajectory; g = 9.8 m/s 2 and dragis small compared to gravitational forces. The takeoff weight is 350 kN, the specific impulseis 300 sec. The maximum acceleration that the payload can experience is 7 g’s.Calculate the maximum velocity increment (Du) in m/s that this rocket can provide to thepayload, and if it gives this velocity to the payload, determine the mass of the payload and themass of the propellant. (Neglect the weight of the rocket casing, structure, engines, etc., sototal mass = mass of payload + mass of propellant)
I Suppose an autonomous surface vessel (ASV) traveling with velocity TvG/O= vi₁ begins to make a turn by adjusting the thrust of its left and right thrusters, TA and TB, respectively. The center of mass of the ASV is located at G and the ASV is symmetric about its vertical axis. The ASV also experiences a drag force that is proportional to its speed and opposes its velocity. At the instant shown, the drag force is D = -kvi₁ where k is a drag coefficient. 1. To model the mass moment of inertia, approximate the ASV as consisting of three rigid bodies: a flat plate as a center body of mass 6m and two slender rods housing the propulsion assemblies, each of mass m, at the outboard sides of the vehicle. Determine the mass moment of inertia, IG, about the vertical axis passing through the center of mass G. (Hint: Use the parallel axis theorem.) 2. At the instant shown, determine the inertial acceleration vector ac/o = axi₁ + ayi2 of the center of mass and the angular acceleration a of the…

Since you are studying mechanics, you decide to consider what Isaac Newton learned by sitting under an apple tree. Fortunately, you decide to wear a helmet, so you may be more practical than Newton was when an apple fell on his head. And you're in luck, an apple (ma = 0.3 kg) falls vertically from the tree and strikes your helmet with a velocity, V₁ = 5 m/sec. The apple then bounces off your helmet to the left at a velocity V₁ = 2 m/sec and an angle of 40° above the horizontal (see the figure). The contact time between the apple and the helmet is 0.12 seconds. (a) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the impulse exerted by the helmet on the apple. (b) Determine the vertical component of the average impulsive force exerted by the helmet on the apple. V₂ = 2 m/sec Use COLM principles, starting with governing equations, to earn full credit. V₁ = 5 m/sec
