The Velocity in terms of time and drag K

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the dynamics of a body falling into a viscous liquid, where the velocity decreases proportionally to its current velocity. The initial velocity is set at 30 m/s, with a proportionality constant k of 0.3 m/s² and a time duration of 0.25 seconds. The acceleration is defined as a = -kv, indicating that the rate of change of velocity is dependent on the velocity itself rather than time. The initial steps involve integrating the acceleration equation to derive the velocity function over time. The conversation highlights the need to clarify the role of gravitational acceleration in this context.

A body falls into viscous liquid which causes the velocity to decrease at the rate proportional to the velocity.
v=velocity(m/s)
t=time(s)
k= constant of proportionality
The initial velocity of the body=30m/s
k=0.3m/s^2
t=0.25s
Solve for v in terms of t and k



First step possible: a=-kt then first order of integration t1=0;t2=0.25s

int a dt ?

But where is g (means g-kt)??

see that rate is proportional to velocity, not time.

so a = -kv
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
