Homework Statement
A mass 𝑚 is accelerated by a time-varying force 𝛼 𝑒𝑥𝑝(−𝛽𝑡)𝑣3, where v is its velocity. It also experiences a resistive force 𝜂𝑣, where 𝜂 is a constant, owing to its motion through the air. The equation of motion of the mass is therefore
𝑚𝑑𝑣/𝑑𝑡= 𝛼 𝑒𝑥𝑝(−𝛽𝑡)𝑣^3 − 𝜂𝑣.
Find an expression for the velocity v of the mass as a function of time, given that it has an initial velocity 𝑣0
Relevant Equations
𝑚𝑑𝑣/𝑑𝑡= 𝛼 𝑒𝑥𝑝(−𝛽𝑡)𝑣^3 − 𝜂𝑣.
