    Change of variable dif equation problem

    Okay, so I solving m du/dt = -(u^2 + 10u): t/500 + C1 = 1/10 ln(u+10) - 1/10 ln(u) t/50 + C2 = ln((u+10)/u) where C2 = 10*C1 e^(t/50 + C2) = Ce^(t/50)-1 = 10/u u = 10(Ce^(t/50))^-1 v^2 = 10(Ce^(t/50))^(-1) -----> v = +/-[10(Ce^(t/50))^-1]^(1/2) But v should just be the negative right?

    Another change of variable problem

    Sorry, looking back that was pretty clear... So then it would be the integral of: dz/(1-z)z = ln(1-z) + ln(z) Then set this equal to: C + Integral( r(t)) and just solve for z?

    Another change of variable problem

    Thanks for the point about r(t), so I fixed that part, but I'm still confused as how to go about the rest... If I substitute y with kz and y' with ?, then how do I integrate the following: ?/[(1-z)kz] Because I could integrate it if the "?" were a "dz" right?

    Change of variable dif equation problem

    Following that... since m = 1000 (500)u d/dt + u^2 + u = 0 Is it a legal operation to factor a "u" out of this equation?

    Another change of variable problem

    I'm also attempting another problem... A population has a periodic growth rate r(t) = A[1 + sin(t/(2*pi))], but otherwise follows the logistic population model with carrying capacity K. There is no threshold and the initial population is Yo = Y knot = K/2. a. Modify the basic logistic...

    Change of variable dif equation problem

    So integrating that I got t/m = .1 ln|v| - .05 ln|v^2 + 10| I wasn't really sure how to integrate the right hand side on paper, so I used my calculator Solving for v, using m = 1000: e^(t/50) = v/((v^2) + 10) I used a variable g to = e^(t/50) which led to: gv^2 +10g = v I tried using the...

    Change of variable dif equation problem

    Alright, so I starting with Newton's equation...I'm thinking: F = m*V = 1000*V then I'm assuming F = Stopping force which is: F = V^3 +10V = 1000V Integrating both sides... (V^4)/4 + 5V^2 = 500V^2 Then solving for V, I got 13.416 But this totally seems wrong to me...

    Change of variable dif equation problem

    So far? Nothing...I'm really looking for a place to start =(

    Change of variable dif equation problem

    Driving your 1000 kg car on I-5 at 100 km/h, you suddenly noticed a large group of animals. You slam on a break and this provides a stopping force equal to v^3 plus the friction force of 10v. Set up and solve a differential equation for velocity. You need to find a suitable change of variable.

    What fraction of its kinetic energy is rotational?

    Actually now I got part A...I just need part B... Thanks for the help by the way

    What fraction of its kinetic energy is rotational?

    I kind of get what you're saying but I'm still sort of lost?

    What fraction of its kinetic energy is rotational?

    An 8.90-cm-diameter, 310 g sphere is released from rest at the top of a 2.00-m-long, 17 degree incline. It rolls, without slipping, to the bottom. a) What is the sphere's angular velocity at the bottom of the incline? b) What fraction of its kinetic energy is rotational? If someone could...
