Hi guys,
Could anyone suggest a method to solve this ODE w.r.t. time?
[tex]
\dot{r}=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r}+b}
[/tex]

An ODE, or ordinary differential equation, is an equation that describes the relationship between a function and its derivatives. It is commonly used to model physical phenomena in science and engineering.
To solve an ODE, you need to find a function that satisfies the equation. This can be done analytically, using methods such as separation of variables or integrating factors, or numerically, using methods such as Euler's method or Runge-Kutta methods.
The symbol $\dot{r}$ represents the derivative of the function $r$ with respect to time. The symbol $a$ represents a constant and $b$ represents another constant. These constants may have physical meanings in the context of the problem being modeled.
The square root in this ODE indicates that the rate of change of $r$ is dependent on the square root of the function $\frac{a}{r}+b$. This can have implications on the behavior and solutions of the ODE.
Solving ODEs has a wide range of applications in various fields of science and engineering. Some examples include modeling population growth, predicting weather patterns, simulating chemical reactions, and analyzing the behavior of mechanical systems.
