Chapter 2, Problem 2.34P

A particle is released from rest (y = 0) and falls under the influence of gravity and air resistance. Find the relationship between υ and the distance of falling y when the air resistance is equal to (a) αυ and (b) βυ2.

A cannon fires 7.5 kg shell vertically upward. The shell has an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Determine the maximum height to which it travels if (a) atmospheric resistance is neglected,(b) the atmospheric resistance is measured as R = 0.02v2N, v is the speed at any instant, measured in m/s.
Given P = 32 u, 90° N of E and R = 12 u, 45° N of E, find P - R in unit-vector form. Use the component method.
A particle is subject to uniform gravity and the linear resistance force -mKv, where K is a positive constant and v is the velocity of the body. Initially the particle is projected with speed u in a direction making an angle a with the horizontal. Which of the following is TRUE about the subsequent motion? O It has a vertical asymptote at x = u u cos(a/K) O It has a vertical asymptote at x = (u/K) cos a. O When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is (2u/g) sin(2a). O When u.K/g is small, the range is (u²/g) sin(2a). When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is 2u sin(a/g).
