Problem 4
A particle in a uniform gravitational field experiences an additional retarding force F = -av,
where v is its velocity. Find the general solution to the equations of motion and show that the
velocity has an asymptotic value (called the terminal velocity). Find the terminal velocity.

You are given two point-like objects, known as M1 & M2. M1 has four times the mass of M2 and they are placed at a distance of d apart from each other. A. Can you sketch (in 2-dimensions) the gravitational field lines that are present in the region of space around the two masses. Show the direction of the field on the field lines. B. Explain quantitatively where you should place a test particle such that it experiences a net gravitational force of zero from the two point-like objects. Indicated this position on your diagram.
A skier starts from rest and slides down a slope of length L = 1080 m and angle a = 12° relative to the ground which is latitude line of λ = 57° relative to the equator. W X 2 N X L Z α Find the deflection (in meters, including sign) of the skier when it reaches the bottom of the track due to Coriolis force. Note: 1. Assume that the gravitational force is directed into the center of the Earth and it includes the centrifugal force. 2. Think about the trajectory of the skier without the effect of Coriolis force, and from there find the effect of Coriolis on the acceleration. The acceleration is time dependent and from there you can find the deflection. 3. The deflection is very small, so be very accurate with your calculation. Use g = 9.8 m/s².
