The acceleration of a particle which is moving along a straight line is given by a = –kv0.5, where a is in meters per second squared, k is a constant, and v is the velocity in meters per second. Determine the velocity as a function of both time t and position s. Evaluate your expressions for t = 2.7 sec and at s = 6 m, if k = 0.3 m0.5 sec–1.5 and the initial conditions at time t = 0 are s0 = 2.6 m and v0 = 2.7 m/sec.

Answer:

[tex]v(t)=2.7*e^{0.5kt}\\\\ v(s)=\frac{k}{2}*s+2.7-1.3k\\\\[/tex]

For t=2.7s and k=0.3 m/s:

[tex]v(2.7s)=1.80m/s[/tex]

For s=6m and k=0.3 m/s:

[tex]v(6m)=6.69m/s\\\\[/tex]

Explanation:

Definition of acceleration:

[tex]a=\frac{dv}{dt} =0.5kv[/tex]

we integrate in order to find v(t):

[tex]\frac{dv}{v} =-0.5kdt[/tex]

[tex]\int\limits^v_0 { \frac{dv}{v}} \, =-0.5k\int\limits^t_0 {dt} \,[/tex]

[tex]ln(v)=-0.5kt+C\\\\ v=A*e^{-0.5kt}[/tex]        A=constant

Definition of velocity:

[tex]v=\frac{ds}{dt} =A*e^{-0.5kt}[/tex]

We integrate:

[tex]v=\frac{ds}{dt} \\s=- (2/k)*A*e^{-0.5kt}+B[/tex]       B=constant

But:

[tex]v=A*e^{-0.5kt}[/tex]⇒[tex]s= -(2/k)*v+B[/tex]

[tex]v(s)=-(\frac{k}{2} )(s-B)=D-\frac{k}{2}*s[/tex]          D=other constant

Initial conditions:t = 0 are s0 = 2.6 m and v0 = 2.7 m/sec:

[tex]v(t)=A*e^{-0.5kt}\\ 2.7=Ae^{-0.5k*0}\\ 2.7=A\\[/tex]

[tex]v(s)=D-\frac{k}{2}*s\\2.7=D-\frac{k}{2}*2.6\\D=2.7+1.3k[/tex]

So:

[tex]v(t)=2.7*e^{-0.5kt}\\\\ v(s)=\frac{k}{2}*s+2.7+1.3k\\\\[/tex]

For t=2.7s and k=0.3 m/s:

[tex]v(2.7s)=2.7*e^{-0.5*0.3*2.7}=1.80m/s[/tex]

For s=6m and k=0.3 m/s:

[tex]v(6m)=\frac{0.3}{2}*6+2.7+1.3*0.3=6.69m/s\\\\[/tex]
