Undergrad How do you explain this, Equation?
A person who weighs 200 lbs is falling through the sky while attached to a parachute. The equation of the downward velocity as a function of time for this is: dv/dt = g - (k/m)v Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m the person's mass, and k is a constant depending on the physical...- sl02ggp

Need help finding voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit?
1. Homework Statement Find the voltage across a capacitor in an RC Circuit, using [V]_{}[/c] (0) = 1, [V]_{}[/i] n(t)=t. 2. Homework Equations dV/dt = (1/RC)(V)=(1/RC)([V]_{}[/in]) 3. The Attempt at a Solution New to this site: I honestly don't know where to start. Done well in...- sl02ggp

RC Circuits (Differential Equations)
I know you have to use this type of an equation: VC = V0(1− e−t /τ ) where τ = RC and V0 is the initial voltage- sl02ggp
