Chapter 1, Problem 22

(choose chapter or problem)

The differential equation governing the velocity of an object is dv dt = kvn, where k > 0 and n are constants. At t = 0, the object is set in motion with velocity v0. Assume v0 > 0. (a) Show that the object comes to rest in a finite time if and only if n < 1, and determine the maximum distance travelled by the object in this case. (b) If 1 n < 2, show that the maximum distance travelled by the object in a finite time is less than v2n 0 (2 n(c) If n 2, show that there is no limit to the distancethat the object can travel.
