Explanation Given: The acceleration of an object: a ( t ) = − k v ( t ) . Initial velocity of the object = 1000ft/s. Final velocity of the object = 900ft/s. Distance travelled by the object = 1200ft. Formula used : The exponential decay of a function is of the form y ( t ) = y 0 e − k t , where the initial amount is y 0 and k is rate constant. Calculation: Given the acceleration of an object is a ( t ) = − k v ( t ) . From the Ex38, it is obtained that d v = − k d s , where v is the velocity of the object and s is the distance travelled by the object. Integrate the above statement, ∫ d v = ∫ − k d s (1) Initial velocity and the final velocity of the object is 1000ft/s and 900ft/s respectively. Hence, the lower limit for the left hand side of the integration of the equation (1) is 1000. The upper limit for the left hand side of the integration of the equation (1) is 900. Distance travelled by the object=1200ft. Hence, the lower limit for the right hand side of the integration of the equation (1) is 0. The upper limit for the right hand side of the integration of the equation (1) is 1200. Substitute the limits in the integral, ∫ 1000 900 d v = ∫ 0 1200 − k d s Integrate the above integral to obtain the value of k , [ v ] 1000 900 = − k [ s ] 0 1200 900 − 1000 = − k [ 1200 − 0 ] 1200 k = 100 k = 100 1200 On further simplification, the value of k becomes, k = 1 12 Let, the initial displacement be y 0 . The displacement after time t is obtained by using above stated formula. That is, y ( t ) = y 0 e − k t y ( t ) = y 0 e − t 12 ( ∵ k = 1 12 ) Assume the object travels 1000 ft in t 1 sec, that is y ( t 1 ) = 1000

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 x 100 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector inside a TV tube. The electron strikes the screen after traveling 17.0 cm horizontally and 40.0 cm vertically upward with no horizontal acceleration. What is the constant vertical acceleration provided by the deflector? (The effects of gravity can be ignored.) 1.4 x 10 m/s? 14 2.5 x 10 m/s2 14 1.2 x 10 m/s? 8.3 x 10 m/s?

You car is moving along in cruise control at a constant speed of 88.3 ft/s (about 60 mi/hr). A text message appears on your phone and you look down to read it. When you look back up at the road, you see a car at a complete stop in your lane 156 ft ahead of you. It takes 0.39 s for you to react and apply the brakes. When the brakes are applied your car experiences an acceleration of -32.3 ft/s2. Fortunately, you are able to avoid hitting the other car. What is the distance between the two cars when you come to a complete stop? (0.9 ft).
