An object with a mass of 10.00kg is launched from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 95.00m/s near the surface of Earth. Consider a linear model of the air resistance, kv, with v being the variable velocity and k = 0.0365 kg/s?. Take the ground as the origin and upwards as positive direction. 1. acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following best describes the DE relating to the problem? Let t be the time, g be the a. -10.00- 3.285 = 10.00 dv/dt b. -10.00g +0.0365v = 10.00 dv/dt c. -10.00g - 0.0365v = 10.00 dv/dt d. -10.00g - 3.285 = -10.00dv/dt 2 Which of the following is closest to the general solution of the linear DE model, velocity as a function of time? Let C be a real constant, exp()%3e0 a. v(t) = 1.346t + C b. v(t) = -2688+Cexp(t/274.0) c. v(t) = -2688+Cexp(-1/10.00) d. v(t) = -2688+Cexp(-1/274.0) %3D

A hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring 13 feet. The ball is started in motion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 4 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second) . Suppose that after t seconds the ball is y feet below its rest position. Find y in terms of t. (Note that the positive direction is down.) Take as the gravitational acceleration 32 feet per second per second.

Calculate the force (in Newtons) required to push a 50kg wagon up a 0.2 radian inclined plane. One Newton (N) is equal to 1 kg-m and the g2 force due to gravity on the wagon is F = m * g, where m is the mass of the wagon, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 ). Please ignore friction in this problem. Hint: draw a picture, and express the forces on the wagon as vectors. Force N
