Solve the following problems using the method of your choice. $$u^{\prime}(t)=4 u-2, u(0)=4$$
A total charge of \(Q\) is distributed uniformly on a line segment of length \(2 L\) along the \(y\) -axis (see figure). The \(x\) -component of the electric field at a point \((a, 0)\) is given by $$E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q a}{2 L} \int_{-L}^{L} \frac{d y}{\left(a^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$$ where \(k\) is a physical constant and \(a>0\) a. Confirm that \(E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q}{a \sqrt{a^{2}+L^{2}}}\) b. Letting \(\rho=Q / 2 L\) be the charge density on the line segment, show that if \(L \rightarrow \infty,\) then \(E_{x}(a)=2 k \rho / a\) (See the Guided Project Electric field integrals for a derivation of this and other similar integrals.)
Let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of \(f(x)=x^{-p}\) and the \(x\) -axis, for \(x \geq 1\) a. Let \(S\) be the solid generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis. For what values of \(p\) is the volume of \(S\) finite? b. Let \(S\) be the solid generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(y\) -axis. For what values of \(p\) is the volume of \(S\) finite?
An object in free fall may be modeled by assuming that the only forces at work
are the gravitational force and resistance (friction due to the medium in
which the object falls). By Newton's second law (mass \(\times\) acceleration
\(=\) the sum of the external forces), the velocity of the object satisfies the
differential equation $$m \quad \cdot \quad v^{\prime}(t)=m g+f(v)$$, where
\(f\) is a function that models the resistance and the positive direction is
downward. One common assumption (often used for motion in air) is that
\(f(v)=-k v^{2},\) where \(k>0\) is a drag coefficient.
a. Show that the equation can be written in the form \(v^{\prime}(t)=\) \(g-a
v^{2},\) where \(a=k / m\).
b. For what (positive) value of \(v\) is \(v^{\prime}(t)=0 ?\) (This equilibrium
solution is called the terminal velocity.)
c. Find the solution of this separable equation assuming \(v(0)=0\) and
\(0
