An object of mass 8 kg is given an upward initial velocity of 20 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -16v , where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 100 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation of motion of an object xt=4.9t-12.45e-2t+112.45 and the time takes by the object to strike the ground is 22.9 sec.

Step by step solution

01

Important hint.

Use Newton’s method to solve for t.

tn+1=tn-ftnf'tn

02

Find the velocity

For finding the weight of the object apply:

Net force=W-drag force

ma=W-16vma=mg-16v8dvdt=8(9.81)-16v8v'=78.4-16v

Further solve the above expression,

role="math" localid="1663943376324" v'=9.8-2v         Integrating factor e2tv'+2v=9.8v.e2t=∫9.8e2tdtv.e2t=4.9e2t+Cv=4.9e2t+Ce-2tv.e2t=4.9e2t+C

At the value of v=-20  and  t=0,  then  C=24.9 (c is constant and arrange negative sign)

v=4.9+24.9e-2t

03

Find the equation of motion

v=dxdtdxdt=4.9+24.9e-2txt=4.9t-12.45e-2t+c

Put the value of t=0,  x=100,  then  C=112.45

xt=4.9 t-12.45 e-2t+112.45

04

Find the value of  t

When the value of x=0

0=4.9t-12.45e-2t+112.45

By trial and error, the value of t t=22.9sec.

Therefore, the value of t is t=22.9sec.

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.

Beginning at time t=0, fresh water is pumped at the rate of 3 gal/min into a 60-gal tank initially filled with brine. The resulting less-and-less salty mixture overflows at the same rate into a second 60-gal tank that initially contained only pure water, and from there it eventually spills onto the ground. Assuming perfect mixing in both tanks, when will the water in the second tank taste saltiest? And exactly how salty will it then be, compared with the original brine?

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?

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?

It was noon on a cold December day in Tampa: 16°C. Detective Taylor arrived at the crime scene to find the sergeant leaning over the body. The sergeant said there were several suspects. If they knew the exact time of death, then they could narrow the list. Detective Taylor took out a thermometer and measured the temperature of the body: 34.5°C. He then left for lunch. Upon returning at 1:00 p.m., he found the body temperature to be 33.7°C. When did the murder occur? [Hint: Normal body temperature is 37°C.]
