Get started for freeAn object of mass 2 kg is released from rest from a platform 30 m above the water and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. After the object strikes the water, it begins to sink with gravity pulling down and a buoyancy force pushing up. Assume that the force of gravity is constant, no change in momentum occurs on impact with the water, the buoyancy force is 1/2 the weight (weight = mg), and the force due to air resistance or water resistance is proportional to the velocity, with proportionality constant b1= 10 N-sec/m in the air and b2= 100 N-sec/m in the water. Find the equation of motion of the object. What is the velocity of the object 1 min after it is released?
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?
From theoretical considerations, it is known that light from a certain star should reach Earth with intensity l0 . However, the path taken by the light from the star to Earth passes through a dust cloud, with absorption coefficient 0.1/light-year. The light reaching Earth has intensity 1/2 l0. How thick is the dust cloud? (The rate of change of light intensity with respect to thickness is proportional to the intensity. One light-year is the distance travelled by light during 1 yr.)
By experimenting with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta subroutine, find the maximum value over the interval \(\left[ {{\bf{1,2}}} \right]\)of the solution to the initial value problem\({\bf{y' = }}\frac{{{\bf{1}}{\bf{.8}}}}{{{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{4}}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{y}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{,y(1) = - 1}}\) . Where does this maximum occur? Give your answers to two decimal places.
In Problem 14, suppose we have the additional information that the population of alligators on the grounds of the Kennedy Space Center in 1993 was estimated to be 4100. Use a logistic model to estimate the population ofalligators in the year 2020. What is the predicted limiting population? [Hint: Use the formulas in Problem 12.
