Problem
Find the particle's horizontal position x(t) and velocity vx) at any point in a fluid whose drag force is expressed as
Fdrag = kmv
where, k is a constant, m is the mass of the particle and v is its velocity. Consider that the particle is initially traveling at with a velocity vo.
Solution:
a) To solve for the position as a function of time x(t), we construct the net force in the x-axis as
Then:
V = m
since:
a = dv/dt
then
זח-
V = m
by integrating, we obtain the following expression:
= voe
Further, employing the rules of integration results to the following expression for position as a function of time
x= (vo/
as t+ 00, the position becomes
X = vo/k
b) To solve for the velocity as a function of position vx), we construct the net force in the x-axis as follows
Z F= .F
= m
Then:
ח -
since:
a = dv/dt
then
We can eliminate time by expressing, the velocity on the left side of the equation as
V = dx/dt
Then, we arrive at the following expression
= -k
By integrating and applying the limits, we arrive at the following
= V0 -
which, sows that velocity decreases in a linear maner.
