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...

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...

A mass m is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface at t=0. Then a constant force F0 acts on it for a time t0. Suddenly the force doubles to 2F0 and remains constant until t=2t0. Determine the total distance traveled from t=0 to t=2t0, in terms of the variables m, F0, t0, and appropriate constants.

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...

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 rock with mass m = 2.60 kg falls from rest in a viscous medium. The rock is acted on by a net constant downward force of F = 19.8 N (a combination of gravity and the buoyant force exerted by the medium) and by a fluid resistance force f=kv, where v is the speed in m/s and k = 2.69 N×s/m a)Find the initial acceleration a0. b) Find the acceleration when the speed is 3.50 m/s . c)Find the...

• Cooper is standing on a 45◦ hill. He kicks a rock (m = 1kg) with a force of F = 50N down the hill. His foot is in contact with the rock for 0.1 seconds. How fast will the rock be moving after 5 seconds? How long does it take for the rock to travel 100 meters? Ignore pesky friction and rotation. • When an object is falling, it is said to be at terminal velocity if it is...
