A shell of mass 2 kg is shot upward with an initial velocity of 200 m/sec. The magnitude of the force on the shell due to air resistance is |v|/20. When will the shell reach its maximum height above the ground? What is the maximum height

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • The shell will reach at the maximum height in 16.48 seconds
  • The maximum height is 1534.8 m

Step by step solution

01

Find the velocity equation

Applying the formula for velocityv(t)=mgb+(vo-mgb)e-btm .

v(t)=3.92.4-592.4e-0.025t (where vo= -200 ,m = 2, b = 1/20 ,g = 9.81)

The shell reached at the maximum height when v(t)=0 then

role="math" localid="1663929004353" 0=3.92.4-592.4e-0.025te-0.025t=392.4592.4e-0.025t=0.66239t=16.48sec

Hence, the shell will reach at the maximum height in 16.48 seconds

02

Find the equation of motion

Apply formula for value equation of motion x(t)=mgtb+mb(vo-mgb)(1-e-btm)

x(t)=392.4t-23696(1-e-0.025t)

The maximum height at t = 16.48 sec then

x(t)=-1534.81m

Hence, the maximum height is 1534.8 m

On a mild Saturday morning while people are working inside, the furnace keeps the temperature inside the building at 21°C. At noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constant 12°C for the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 3 hr, when will the temperature inside the building reach 16°C? If some windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when will the temperature inside reach 16°C?

Suppose the snowball in Problem 21 melts so that the rate of change in its diameter is proportional to its surface area. Using the same given data, determine when its diameter will be 2 in. Mathematically speaking, when will the snowball disappear?

A parachutist whose mass is 100 kgdrops from a helicopter hovering 3000 m above the ground and falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b3=20 N-sec/mwhen the chute is closed andb4=100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until 30 sec after the parachutist leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground? If the chute does not open until 1 min after he leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground?

A garage with no heating or cooling has a time constant of 2 hr. If the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of 50°Fat2:00a.m.and a maximum of80°Fat2:00p.m., determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.

A cup of hot coffee initially at 95°C cools to 80°C in 5 min while sitting in a room of temperature 21°C. Using just Newton’s law of cooling, determine when the temperature of the coffee will be a nice 50°C.
