Starting at rest a man falls from the surface of earth.

He feels a drag force FD = bv2(t), where b is a constant, and v(t) is his velocity as a function of time. If his mass is m, show that v(t) = A tanh (Bt)

where tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function, and determine the constants A and B

in terms of m, g, and b

In addition to the buoyant force, an object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force Fdrag = (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is a constant. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b = 6πηR, where η is the viscosity of the liquid. Consider a sphere of radius R and density ρ that is released from rest at the surface of a liquid with density ρf. a. Find an...

A flower falls to the bottom of a lake. Once it is on the bottom, it will release pollen (a little sphere) which begins to float towards the surface The drag force on a sphere in fluid is F​drag​​=6πrηv, where r=100 μm is the radius of the pollen, η=10^−3 Ns/m^2 is the viscosity of water and v is the velocity of the pollen. The density of pollen is p​​=300kg/m​^3​​ and the density of water is ρ​w​​=1000kg/m​3​​. The pollen floats due...

A ball of a mass m starting from rest falls a vertical distance h=65.0 cm before striking a vertical coiled spring which is compressed an amount Y =18.2 cm . The spring constant is given as 1460 N / m . a) what was the velocity of the ball just as it touched the spring (1) ? b) How much time (t) did it take for the ball to reach the spring? c) Calculate the mass (m). d) with what...

We learned in mechanics that in the absence of air resistance, all objects near Earth’s surface fall with the same constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s 2 . Yet as a student I once dropped a wadded-up tissue from the top of the Eiffel Tower and watched it take minutes to fall 300 m to Earth. (I retrieved it from the riverbank and put it in the poubelle.) In fluids, such as air or water, frictional drag forces grow larger...

An object falls from rest. Its position at time t is given by s(t) = 1/2 gt^2. We consider that it falls for T seconds. (a) Write its velocity v as a function of time t and then write the velocity as a function of the position s. (b) Notice that v(T) denotes the nal velocity of the object. Write the average velocity v over the object during its fall, rst averaging over time t, and then averaging over position...

A man of mass m=74.0 kg is holding his breath and floating, at rest, on the surface of a lake. While holding his breath, his density is p=994.0 kg.m^3. He exhales, which increases his density to 1030.0 kg/m^3 and so he begins to sink. The density of water is 1000.0 kg/m^3. a) when the man is floating at the surface of lake, what percent of his body's volume is above water? b) once the man exhales, what is the buoyancy...

Starting from rest, two skaters "push off" against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. One is a woman and one is a man. The woman moves away with a velocity of +2.7 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 50 kg, and the mass of the man is 81 kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 4.4 m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of...
