The resistance force exerted on the particle is -mKv, where v is the velocity of the particle. Initially the string is taut and the particle is projected horizontally, at right angles to the string, with speed u. Find the angle turned through by the string before the particle comes to rest. Find also the tension in the string at time t.

For this problem, l'd like you to numerically compute the trajectory of a two-particle system by applying Newton's laws of motion. The particles have mass m1 = m and m2 = 2m. They are connected via a spring of spring constant k with vanishing equilibrium separation. Particle 1 begins from rest at the origin. Particle 2 is a distance a above particle 1 (on the y-axis). Defining wo = V, let particle 2's initial velocity be awo directed 45° above the horizontal. Given this data, plot the trajectory of these two particles moving under the influence of the gravitational force.

Starting from Newton's Law, and assuming that the only forces acting on the particle are the gravitational force and a resistance force proportional to the magnitude of the velocity (acting in the opposite direction, proportionality constant a), find how the velocity of the particle changes with time. Analyze the behaviour of the particle. (b) Consider a particle falling in a long column of liquid starting from rest, subject to the same forces. How does the velocity of the particle change with time? Analyze the behaviour of the particle.

A particle is subject to uniform gravity and the linear resistance force -mKv, where K is a positive constant and v is the velocity of the body. Initially the particle is projected with speed u in a direction making an angle a with the horizontal. Which of the following is TRUE about the subsequent motion? O It has a vertical asymptote at x = u u cos(a/K) O It has a vertical asymptote at x = (u/K) cos a. O When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is (2u/g) sin(2a). O When u.K/g is small, the range is (u²/g) sin(2a). When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is 2u sin(a/g).
4.17 A body is projected vertically upwards with speed u and moves under uniform gravity in a medium that exerts a resistance force proportional to the square of its speed and in which the body's terminal speed is V. Find the maximum height above the starting point attained by the body and the time taken to reach that height. Show also that the speed of the body when it returns to its starting point is uV/(V² + u²)¹/2. [Hint. The equations of motion for ascent and descent are different. See the note at the end of section 4.3.]

A space shuttle lands on a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 2.0 ( We do not know thelocal units of length and time , but they are consistent throughout the problem). The shuttle coasts along aleve, frictionless plane with a speed of 6.0. It then coasts up a frictionless ramp of height 5.0 and angle 0f 30°.After a brief ballistic flight, it lands a distance S from the ramp. Solve for S in local units of length. Assume theshuttle is small compared to the local length unit and that all atmospheric effects are negligible. Use x and y components.
