A 5 kg object is shot straight up with an initial velocity of 1 m/s from the ground. If air resistance is given by 5v where v is for velocity, determine the time it takes to reach the highest height of its ascent. (Hint: F = ma = m(dv/dt))
A pilot is flying a plane at 220 m/s and an altitude of 500 meters. If she needs to deliver supplies via air drop, how far away from the target should she release the cargo? The cargo's parachute slows the average acceleration of gravity to 0.75 m/s2. Answer in kilometers.(In reality, a parachute significantly reduces the terminal velocity, so it won't accelerate very long. But let's keep it simple and assume the cargo accelerates the whole way.) Note do not provide hand written solution
Problem 2: A 165 lb skydiver jumps off from a plane at a height 10,000 ft. In the first 30 seconds, the drag force due to air resistance is 2v. Use g = 32 ft/s'. (A) What is the differential equation (as an explicit derivative) that describes the motion of the skydiver? (B) what is the velocity of the skydiver after the first 10 seconds? (C) What is his altitude at that instant of time? After the first 30 seconds, the parachute is released to increase the drag force. If this time, the drag force is proportional to the square of the velocity, (D) find an expression for the velocity at any time t after the initial 30 seconds, assuming the same value of k. It's alright if your answer is in implicit form.

(Use the following as necessary: t.)

If air resistance is proportional to the square of the instantaneous velocity, then the velocity v of a mass m dropped from a given height is determined from m dv dt = mg − kv2, k > 0. Let v(0) = 0, k = 0.125, m = 4 slugs, and g = 32 ft/s2. (a) Use the RK4 method with h = 1 to approximate the velocity v(5). (Round your answer to three decimal places.) v(5) ≈ ft/s (b) Use a numerical solver to graph the solution of the IVP on the interval [0, 6]. The t v-coordinate plane is given. The curve begins at the origin, goes up and right becoming less steep, starts becoming nearly horizontal at the approximate point (2.92, 21.9), and exits the window nearly horizontal at the approximate point (6, 22.6). The t v-coordinate plane is given.
