Homework Statement Mathematically prove how Newton's Law of Cooling is derived. Homework Equations Newton’s Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of a temperature of an object is directly proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the temperature of its...

I don't want to go into great detail in my assignment. I would love to show how air resistance changes the velocity at the maximum velocity if possible. I'm unsure on how to do this. My idea is to create a formula which i can reanrage to get v as the subject and derive to find the maximum...

Are the only forces acting upon the jumper gravity and air resistance?

Not really understanding what you mean?

Rearanging GPE=GPE+EPE+KE to get v by itself and then deriving to find the maximum velocity. WOuld that work?

Differential Equation?

If I was to find the maximum velocity, using the Air Resistance formula. Would you know how I would find out how it would alter velocity?

I've got a formula. The GPEtotal = GPE +EPE+KE and using physics formula, KE =0.5mv^2, can rearange for v at any point

Homework Statement Hi, just wondering if you could help me with a Physics/Math assignment I'm currently working on. Involves the following questions: New Zealand is the home of bungee jumping. One of the major jumps is located on a bridge over the Shotover River near Queenstown. In this...
