Chapter 5, Problem 64P
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object’s velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi – kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.

(The general formula is f (x) = ax + bx2, where the constant a depends on the driver’s reaction time and theconstant b depends on the weight of the car and the type of tires.) If a car travels 175 feet after the driver decides to stop, how fast was the car moving? (Source: Applying Mathematics: A Course in Mathematical Modelling.)arrow_forwardA ball of relatively low density is thrown upwards. Because of air resistance the acceleration while traveling upwards is −10.8 m/s2. On its trip downward the resistance is in the opposite direction, and the resulting acceleration is −8.8 m/s2. When the ball reaches the level from which it was thrown, how does its speed compare to that with which it was thrown?arrow_forward

Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -20v, where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 600 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec and let x(t) represent the distance the object has fallen in t seconds.
