A ball is dropped from a boat so that it strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 16.5 ft/s. While in the water, the ball experiences an acceleration of a = 10 – 0.8v, where a and v are expressed in ft/s2 and ft/s, respectively. The ball takes 5.7 s to reach the bottom of the lake.

Respuesta :

The initial velocity is
v(0) = 16.5 ft/s

While in the water, the acceleration is
a(t) = 10 - 0.[tex] \frac{dv}{dt} =10-0.8v \\\\ \frac{dv}{10-0.8v}=dt \\\\ \int_{16.5}^{v} \, \frac{dv}{10-0.8v} = \int_{0}^{t} dt \\\\ - \frac{1}{0.8} [ln(10-0.8v)]_{16.5}^{v}=t \\\\ ln \frac{10-0.8v}{-3.2}=-0.8t \\\\ \frac{0.8v -10}{3.2} =e^{-0.8t} \\\\ 0.8v = 10 + 3.2e^{-0.8t} \\\\ v=12.5+4e^{-0.08t}[/tex]

The velocity function is
[tex]v(t)=12.5+4e^{-0.8t}[/tex]
It satisfies the condition that v(0) = 16.5 ft/s.
When t = 5.7s, obtain
[tex]v(5.7)=12.5+4e^{-0.8\times5.7} = 12.54 \, ft/s[/tex]

The depth of the lake is
[tex]d=\int_{0}^{5.7} \, (12.5+4e^{-0.8t})dt \\\\ = 12.5(5.7)+ \frac{4}{(-0.8)}[e^{-0.8t}]_{0}^{5.7} \\\\ =71.25-5(0.0105-1) =76.198 \, ft[/tex]

Answer:
The velocity at the bottom of the lake is 12.5 ft/s
The depth of the lake is 76.2 ft


The velocity of the ball at the bottom of the lake is 12.54 m/s.

Acceleration of the ball

The acceleration of the ball while in the water is calculated as follows;

[tex]a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\10-0.8v = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\\frac{dv}{10-0.8v}= dt\\\\ \int\limits^v_{v_0} {\frac{dv}{10-0.8v} } = \int\limits^t_0 {dt} \\\\-\frac{1}{0.8} [ln(10-0.8v)]^v_{v_0} = t\\\\ln(\frac{10-0.8v}{-3.2} ) = -0.8t\\\\\frac{0.8v-10}{3.2} = -0.8t\\\\\frac{0.8v-10}{3.2} = e^{-0.8t} \\\\0.8v = 10 + 3.2e^{-0.8t}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{10}{0.8} + \frac{3.2e^{-0.8t}}{0.8} \\\\v (t) = 12.5 + 4e^{-0.8t}[/tex]

Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the lake

The velocity of the ball at the bottom of the lake is determined by applying the equation above at time 5.7 s.

[tex]v(5.7) = 12.5 + 4e^{-0.8\times 5.7}\\\\v(5.7) = 12.5 + 0.04\\\\v(5.7) = 12.54 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the velocity of the ball at the bottom of the lake is 12.54 m/s.
