To determine

To calculate: The solution of the equation dvdt=gcmv by the use of calculus if the initial velocity v(0) is non-zero.

Answer to Problem 1P

Solution:

The solution of the equation dvdt=gcmv is v=v(0)e(cm)t+mgc(1e(cm)t).

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The equation, dvdt=gcmv.

The initial velocity v(0) is non-zero.

Formula used:

Integration property of polynomial,

1a+bxdx=1bln(a+bx)+C

Logarithmic property,

lnalnb=ln(ab)

Calculation:

Consider the equation,

dvdt=gcmv

Separate the variables as below,

dvgcmv=dt

Integrate both the sides of above equation,

dvgcmv=dt

Use the integration property of polynomial,

ln(gcmv)(cm)=t+C …… (1)

Where, C is the constant of integration.

For t=0, the initial velocity is v(0). Therefore,

ln(gcmv(0))(cm)=0+Cln(gcmv(0))(cm)=C

Substitute the value of C in the equation (1) and simplify as below,

ln(gcmv)(cm)=tln(gcmv(0))(cm)ln(gcmv)=(cm)tln(gcmv(0))ln(gcmv)+ln(gcmv(0))=(cm)tln(gcmv(0))(gcmv)=(cm)t

Simplify furthermore,

(gcmv(0))(gcmv)=e(cm)tgcmv=gcmv(0)e(cm)tgcmv=(gcmv(0))e(cm)tcmv=(gcmv(0))e(cm)tg

Simplify furthermore,

v=(mc)(gcmv(0))e(cm)t(mc)g=mgce(cm)t+v(0)e(cm)t+mgc=v(0)e(cm)t+mgc(1e(cm)t)

Since, v(0) is non-zero. Hence, the solution of the equation is v=v(0)e(cm)t+mgc(1e(cm)t).
