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.

A 10-8-Fcapacitor (10 nano-farads) is charged to 50Vand then disconnected. One can model the charge leakage of the capacitor with a RC circuit with no voltage source and the resistance of the air between the capacitor plates. On a cold dry day, the resistance of the air gap is5×1013Ω; on a humid day, the resistance is7×106Ω. How long will it take the capacitor voltage to dissipate to half its original value on each day?

In 1980 the population of alligators on the Kennedy Space Center grounds was estimated to be 1500. In 2006 the population had grown to an estimated 6000. Using the Malthusian law for population growth, estimate the alligator population on the Kennedy Space Center grounds in the year 2020.

Sailboats A and B each have a mass of 60 kg and cross the starting line at the same time on the first leg of a race. Each has an initial velocity of 2 m/sec. The wind applies a constant force of 650 N to each boat, and the force due to water resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. For sailboat A the proportionality constants arebefore planing when the velocity is less than 5 m/sec andwhen the velocity is above 5 m/sec. For sailboat B the proportionality constants arebefore planing when the velocity is less than 6 m/sec andwhen the velocity is above. If the first leg of the race is 500 m long, which sailboat will be leading at the end of the first leg?
