A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exerts a resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed with k

Respuesta :

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

[tex]F_{r}=kv^2[/tex]

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

[tex]F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

Put the value of k

[tex]3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

[tex]1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}[/tex]

At terminal velocity [tex]\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0[/tex]

So, [tex]1600-v^2=0[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{1600}[/tex]

[tex]v=40\ ft/sec[/tex]

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.
