[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

When the velocity v of an object is very large, the magnitude of the force due to air resistance is proportional to v2 with the force acting in opposition to the motion of the object. A shell of mass 3 kg is shot upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 500 m/sec. If the magnitude of the force due to air resistance is 0.1v2, when will the shell reach its maximum height above the ground? What is the maximum height?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • The shell reaches at the maximum height in 2.69 sec
  • The maximum height is 101.9248 m.

Step by step solution

01

Find the thermal speed of the object

Apply the formula for thermal speed

vt=mgbvt=3(9.81)0.1=17.15 (m = 3, g = 9.81, b = 0.1)

02

Find the value of velocity 

mdvdt=-mg-bv2-mbdvdt=mgb+v2-mbdvdt=v2t+v2∫1v2t+v2dv=∫-bmdttan-1vvtvt=-btm+c

When v = 500 m/sec and t = 0 then

c=tan-1500vtvt

tan-1vvtvt=-btm+tan-1500vtvttan-1vvt=-btvtm+tan-1500vtvvt=tan(-btvtm+tan-1500vt)v=vt.tan(-btvtm+tan-1500vt)

The shell reaches at maximum height when v=0 and =17.15,

Then

0=17.15tan(-0.1(17.15)t3+tan-150017.15)-0.1(17.15)t3=tan-150017.15t=tan-150017.150.57t=2.69sec

Hence, the shell reaches at the maximum height in 2.69 sec

03

Find the maximum height

v=vt.tan(-btvtm+tan-1500vt)v=17.15tan(-0.57t+tan-150017.15)b = 0.1, m = 3,t = 2.69dxdt=17.15tan(-0.57t+1.537)dx=17.15tan(-0.57t+1.537)dtx=17.15(100ln(cos570t-15371000)57)+c

When x=0 the value of c=-101.925.

x(t)=17.15(100ln(cos570t-15371000)57)+101.925

Put t=2.69 then

x(t)=17.15(100ln(cos570(2.69)-15371000)57)+101.925-0.0002+101.925xt=101.9248m

Hence, the maximum height is 101.9248 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?

Early Monday morning, the temperature in the lecture hall has fallen to 40°F, the same as the temperature outside. At7:00a.m., the janitor turns on the furnace with the thermostat set at70°F. The time constant for the building is1k=2 hrand that for the building along with its heating system is1k1=12 hr. Assuming that the outside temperature remains constant, what will be the temperature inside the lecture hall at8:00a.m.? When will the temperature inside the hall reach65°F?

Local versus Global Error. In deriving formula (4) for Euler’s method, a rectangle was used to approximate the area under a curve (see Figure 3.14). With

\({\bf{g(t) = f(t,f(t))}}\), this approximation can be written as \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt}} \approx {\bf{hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \)where \({\bf{h = }}{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}\) .

  1. Show that if g has a continuous derivative that is bounded in absolute value by B, then the rectangle approximation has error\(\left( {\bf{O}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\); that is, for some constant M, \(\left| {\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} } \right| \le {\bf{M}}{{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).This is called the local truncation error of the scheme. [Hint: Write \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} {\bf{ = }}\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {\left[ {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right]{\bf{dt}}} \). Next, using the mean value theorem, show that\(\left| {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right| \le {\bf{B}}\left| {{\bf{t - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right|\) . Then integrate to obtain the error bound\(\left( {\frac{{\bf{B}}}{{\bf{2}}}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).]
  2. In applying Euler’s method, local truncation errors occur in each step of the process and are propagated throughout the further computations. Show that the sum of the local truncation errors in part (a) that arise after n steps is (O)h. This is the global error, which is the same as the[ss1] [m2] convergence rate of Euler’s method.


Escape Velocity.According to Newton’s law of gravitation, the attractive force between two objects varies inversely as the square of the distances between them. That is,Fg=GM1M2/r2whereM1andM2are the masses of the objects, ris the distance between them (center to center), Fgis the attractive force, and Gis the constant of proportionality. Consider a projectile of

constant mass mbeing fired vertically from Earth (see Figure 3.12). Let trepresent time and v the velocity of the projectile.

  1. Show that the motion of the projectile, under Earth’s gravitational force, is governed by the equationdvdt=-gR2r2, where ris the distance between the projectile and the center of Earth, Ris the radius of Earth, Mis the mass of Earth, andg=GM/R2.
  2. Use the fact that dr /dt = v to obtainvdvdt=-gR2r2
  3. If the projectile leaves Earth’s surface with velocity vo, show thatv2=2gR2r+vo2-2gR
  4. Use the result of part (c) to show that the velocity of the projectile remains positive if and only ifvo2-2gR>0. The velocityve=2gRis called the escape velocityof Earth.
  5. If g= 9.81 m/sec 2and R= 6370 km for Earth, what is Earth’s escape velocity?
  6. If the acceleration due to gravity for the moon is gm= g/6 and the radius of the moon is Rm= 1738 km, what is the escape velocity of the moon?

A 400-lb object is released from rest 500 ft above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming that the force in pounds due to air resistance is -10V, where v is the velocity of the object in ft/sec determine the equation of motion of the object. When will the object hit the ground?
