1st I am having problems getting a solution for final Velocity in terms of Distance traveled with a non-zero initial velocity.
Acceleration = A / Velocity - B * Velocity^2
where A is a constant related to Hp (horsepower) of the vehicle and and B is a constant related to aerodynamic drag.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2nd simpler problem that I am also trying to solve involves:
Acceleration = m * Velocity + b where acceleration varies linearly with velocity. m & b are constants.
...this 2nd one I can solve for time and distance but not for Vf (Final Velocity) in terms of distance traveled and Vi (Initial Velocity).
time = 1/m * ln[(b-m*Vf)/(b-m*Vi)]
distance traveled = Vf/m - b/m^2 * ln(b+m*Vf) - Vi/m - b/m^2 * ln(b+m*Vi)
------------------------------------------------
How do I solve for Vf (Final Velocity) in terms of Distance traveled?
Thank you very much for any help.
