What is the velocity and time needed to solve this kinematics problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a kinematics problem involving a particle with acceleration defined as a = -k√v. The user seeks assistance in determining the particle's velocity at x = 24 m and the time required for it to come to rest, given initial conditions of x = 0, v = 81 m/s at t = 0, and v = 36 m/s at x = 18 m. The user attempted to use the equations a = v(dv/dx) and a = dv/dt for integration but encountered difficulties. Other participants are encouraged to share their calculations and insights to help resolve the issue. The user expresses willingness to return for further assistance if needed.

Hi guys. I'm new here. If i did any mistake please forgive me.



First of all I have a simple problem need all of you to help me.



Here is the problem


The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = -k√v, where k is constant.
Knowing that
x = 0 and v = 81 m/s at t = 0
and v = 36 m/s x = 18 m

determine
(a) the velocity of the particle when x = 24 m
(b) the time required for the particle to come to rest.

using ##a=v\frac{dv}{dx}## or ##a=\frac{dv}{dt}## and some integration, can you find a relation between v and x?

I did but it not work for me. Maybe I missed some part. I'll try again. Thank for reply.
 
You can post your calculations if you are stuck. :smile:

I'll reply back. If I got stuck again. :smile:
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
