The Velocity in terms of time and drag K

In summary, the velocity changes over time according to Newton's Second Law of Motion and is affected by the inverse relationship between velocity and drag K. Drag K decreases as velocity increases, slowing down the object. This force reduces the object's velocity over time and can be calculated using the equation v = v0 - (K/m)t, where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, K is the drag coefficient, m is the mass of the object, and t is the time interval.

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
 

1. How does the velocity change over time?

The velocity changes over time according to the laws of physics, specifically Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the rate of change of an object's velocity is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass.

2. What is the relationship between velocity and drag K?

The relationship between velocity and drag K is inverse. This means that as the velocity increases, the drag K decreases and vice versa. This is because drag is a force that acts in the opposite direction of motion and increases with velocity, slowing down the object.

3. How does drag K affect the velocity?

Drag K affects the velocity by reducing it. As mentioned before, drag is a force that acts in the opposite direction of motion, so it reduces the object's velocity by applying a resistive force. The higher the drag K, the greater the resistive force and the more it will slow down the object's velocity.

4. Can the velocity in terms of time and drag K be calculated?

Yes, the velocity in terms of time and drag K can be calculated using the equation: v = v0 - (K/m)t, where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, K is the drag coefficient, m is the mass of the object, and t is the time interval. This equation takes into account the change in velocity due to the resistive force of drag over time.

5. How does air resistance affect the velocity in terms of time and drag K?

Air resistance, or drag, has a significant impact on the velocity in terms of time and drag K. As an object moves through the air, it experiences a resistive force due to the collision of air particles with its surface. This force reduces the object's velocity over time, as described by the equation mentioned in question 4.
