    Change in area of a triangle formed by position vectors

    Homework Statement Consider two particles located at positions \vec{r_{1}}(t) and \vec{r_{2}}(t), respectively, with corresponding velocities given respectively by \vec{v_{1}}(t) and \vec{v_{2}}(t). Consider the triangle formed by the origin and the position vectors of the two particles. Show...

    Differential equation involving falling object

    Homework Statement A body of mass m is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity v0 in a medium offering a resistance k|v|, where k is a constant. Assume that the gravitational attraction of the Earth is constant. a) Find the velocity v(t) of the body at any time. b) Using the...
