Math geeks, assemble!
« on: May 18, 2009, 06:26:28 pm »
So, theres a math problem that is haunting me:

d)

"(...) after 5 second a parachutist releases his parachute. We assume that the air resistance (drag) will now become -k * v(t)^2. We set g = 10 and k = 8."

"Use Newtons 2. law to set up a differential equation for the situation when the parachute opens."

(The guy weighs 80 kg)

ma = mg - L

ma = mg - (kv^2)

v'(t) + k/m * v^2 = g

v'(t) + 0.1v(t)^2 = 10

So far so good I think

but then:

e) "The differential equation in d) is separable. Set v instead of v(t). Show that we can write the differential as: (attachment)"

f) "Find an expression for v by solving the differential equation in e)"

I'll look at it, though my physics are a bit rusty...

But can you please photograph/scan the entire thing so it's not horribly set up?
Trolls are awesome!

It's in Norwegian :p

The first thingie is the calculations that I have made, if you grap some paper and write down the last differential that is underlined, it might be easier.

Insanity doesn't run in my family. Rather, it strolls through, taking its time, getting to know everyone personally.

I'd love to help, although I'd like to see the paper, instead of your attempt at explaining, even if it's norwegian...

best part is, he didn't even define the variables :)

For your own good, shape up on format!

And yes, let us see the paper, even if it's in norwegian.
