Question

Assuming resistance proportional to the square of the velocity (as in 4), how far does the motorboat of coast in the first minute after its motor quits?REFERENCE PROBLEM 4 Consider a body that moves horizontally through a medium whose resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity v, so that dv/dt = - kv2. Show that And that Note that, in contrast with the result of problem 2, x(t) as . Which offers less resistance when the body is moving fairly slowly -- the medium in this problem of the medium in problem 2? Does your answer seem consistent with the observed behaviours of x(t) as ?REFERENCE PROBLEM 3 Suppose that a motorboat is moving at 40 ft/s when its motor suddenly quits, and that 10 s later the boat has slowed to 20 ft/s. Assume as in 2, that the resistance encounters while coasting is proportional to its velocity. How far will the boat coast in all?REFERENCE PROBLEM 2 Suppose that a body moves through a resisting medium with resistance proportional to its velocity v, so that dv/dt = - kv. (a.) Show that its velocity and position time t are given by And (b) Conclude that the body travels only a finite distance, and find that distance.

Solution

Solution:Step 1 of 3:In this problem, we need to show that how far does the motorboat of coast in the first minute after its motor quits.
