Get started for freeIf the object in Problem 1 has a mass of500 kginstead of 5 kg , when will it strike the ground? [Hint: Here the exponential term is too large to ignore. Use Newton’s method to approximate the time t when the object strikes the ground (see Appendix B)
In Problems 23–27, assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. The only undiscovered isotopes of the two unknown elements hohum and inertium (symbols Hh and It) are radioactive. Hohum decays into inertium with a decay constant of 2/yr, and inertium decays into the nonradioactive isotope of bunkum (symbol Bu) with a decay constant of 1/yr. An initial mass of 1 kg of hohum is put into a non-radiaoctive container, with no other source of hohum, inertium, or bunkum. How much of each of the three elements is in the container after t yr? (The decay constant is the constant of proportionality in the statement that the rate of loss of mass of the element at any time is proportional to the mass of the element at that time.)
An object of mass 8 kg is given an upward initial velocity of 20 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -16v , where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 100 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.
An object at rest on an inclined plane will not slide until the component of the gravitational force down the incline is sufficient to overcome the force due to static friction. Static friction is governed by an experimental law somewhat like that of kinetic friction (Problem 18); it has a magnitude of at mostN, where m is the coefficient of static friction and Nis, again, the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the surface on the object. If the plane is inclined at an angle a, determine the critical value0for which the object will slide ifo but will not move foro.
The air in a small room 12 ft by 8 ft by 8 ft is 3% carbon monoxide. Starting at t = 0, fresh air containing no carbon monoxide is blown into the room at a rate of . If air in the room flows out through a vent at the same rate, when will the air in the room be 0.01% carbon monoxide?
