    Find the function of velocity of a person that accelerates to a constant v

    for example, I want to know velocity of a person when time is equal to t, that person start running from 0m/s (t=0s) to max velocity of 1m/s (t=1s). I am thinking that this is like rain droplet that affected by gravity and drag force, where force is directly proportional to its velocity, to make...

    Projectile motion of a moving target

    this is problem #57 from chapter 4 of "Physics for engineers and scientists vol1" ,it was solved in the book by a method the author calls "successive approximation, he first calculated the flight time of the projectile and then "corrected" for the ship's displacement. i know this is a perfectly...

    A Predicting how far an object will fly

    Hi, I have an experimental setup where we are taking certain different types of metals of varying shapes and sizes, weighing them, taking approximate measurements, and then blowing it off of a table of a fixed height with an Air Nozzle. The data taken down in experiment is the PSI at which the...

    Maximum Distance a Projectile Moves Up an Inclined Plane

    the red line is the initial velocity, the grey parabola is the path of the projectile. hi there...I'm kinda stuck at the part b of this problem. I can do part a with no problem. can anybody explain to me how to do the differentiation needed to solve part b?? by explain I mean explain the...

    Boy scout problem (Serway and Jewett)

    Homework Statement To protect his food from hungry bears, a boy scout raises his food pack with a rope that is thrown over a tree limb at height $$h$$ above his hands. He walks away from the vertical rope with constant velocity $$v_b$$, holding the free end of the rope in his hands (a) Show...

    Finding Velocity: F=ma or KE = 0.5mv^2

    Here is a made up function of force changing with respect to displacement: F(x) = 2000 - 100x The force is applied onto an object, pushing it horizontally. Ignore friction and air resistance. The mass is constant. I'm trying to find Velocity with respect to displacement. Attempt 1: Knowing F =...

    Why Does the Acceleration of a Particle Need to Be Zero for Maximum Speed?

    A particle P moves on the x-axis. At time t seconds the velocity of P is V m/s in the direction of x increasing?o V is given by V={8t-3/2t²} for 0≤t≤4 Also V={16-2t} for t>4 Why does the acceleration have to equal zero to get the greatest speed of P in interval 0≤t≤4
