Let us make the (unrealistic) assumption that a boat of mass m gliding with initial velocity v0 in water is slowed by a viscous retarding force of magnitude bv2, where b is a constant, (a) Find and sketch v(t). How long does it take the boat to reach a speed of v0/l000? (b) Find x(t). How far does the boat travel in this time? Let m = 200 kg, v0 = 2 m/s, and b = 0.2 Nm-2s2.
An object with mass m is dropped from rest and we assume that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object. If s(t) is the distance dropped after t seconds, then the speed is v = s'(t) and the acceleration is a = v'(t). If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the downward force on the object is mg − cv, where c is a positive constant, and Newton's Second Law gives m dv dt = mg − cv. (a) Solve this as a linear equation. (Use v for v(t).) v=mgC(1−e−(Cm)t) (b) What is the limiting velocity? lim t → ∞ v(t) = mgc (c) Find the distance the object has fallen after t seconds. (Use s for s(t).)
An ideal massless rope passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block A with mass mA=9.8 kg, and block B with mass mB=4.3 kg, are suspended from opposite ends of the rope.

You drop an object of mass m from a tall building. Suppose the only forces affecting its motion are gravity, and air resistance proportional to the object's speed with positive constant of proportionality k. Let g denote gravitational acceleration (a positive constant). Express the total force in terms of m, g, and the object's velocity v, where upward displacement is considered positive. F = mg - kv Newton's second law tells us that force is equal to mass x acceleration, F = ma. Relating acceleration to velocity, rewrite the equation for total force above as a first order differential equation for v as a function of t. Denote v' as dv dt v(t) m(- dr) this is not an equation. Solve this differential equation for v(t) with the initial condition v(0) = V0. = mg (1-e ==) m k Find the terminal Terminal velocity = mg k X velocity. X syntax error: X X

A 2540 kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force such that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t) = At + Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited.
