91Ó°ÊÓ

An object of mass mis released from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. If the magnitude of the force due to air resistance is bvn, where band nare positive constants, find the limiting velocity of the object (assuming this limit exists). [Hint:Argue that the existence of a (finite) limiting velocity implies that dvdt→0as t→+∞

Short Answer

Expert verified

The limiting velocity isv=(mgb)1n .

Step by step solution

01

Find the limiting velocity of the object

According to the newton’s second law of equation mdvdt=mg-bvn

02

Apply given conditions

Letdvdt=0and t→+∞

0=mg-bvnv=(mgb)1n

Therefore, the limiting velocity is role="math" localid="1663965910386" v=(mgb)1n.
