Chapter 9, Problem 13E

(choose chapter or problem)

If air resistance is proportional to the square of the instantaneous velocity, then the velocity v of a mass m dropped from a given height is determined from

\(m \frac{d v}{d t}=m g-k v^{2}\), k > 0.

Let v(0) = 0, k = 0.125, m = 5 slugs, and \(g=32 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

(a) Use the RK4 method with h  1 to approximate the velocity v(5).

(b) Use a numerical solver to graph the solution of the IVP on the interval [0, 6].

(c) Use separation of variables to solve the IVP and then find the actual value v(5).
