Ive got 2 questions that I would like looked at.
Question 1:
A rocket sled has the following equation of motion: 6vdot = 2700 - 24*v. How long must the rock fire before the sled travels 2000 m? The sled starts from rest.
I took the integral which of that equation which gamve me v(t) = 2700*t - 24*x. At rest v = 0. So 0 = 2700t - 24*(2000)
Solve for t and you get t = 17.78 seconds.
Does this look right? If not please let me know.
Question 2:
For each of the following models, obtain the free response and time constants if any.
16*xdot + 14*x = 0, x(0) = 6
I changed it to v's, which gave me 16*v + 14*vdot = 0, v(0) = 6
For time constant its c/m so tau = 14/16 = .875
Then for the free response its v(t) = v(0)*e^-t/tau
So for my final answer, v(t) = 6*e^-1.143*t
If there are any problems with this, can you please let me know where.
I just want to make sure I am doing this right.
