A body moving with velocity V enounters a resistance in the form of dV/dT=-k*V^(3/2). Show that

V(t)=(4v.)/(k*t*sqrt(v.)+2)^2
v. is the same as v(subscript 0)


When i solve the differential equation i keep getting V(t)=4/(k*t-v')^2

I have no idea how to get from dv/dt to the given v(t)

oh wow I would have never though to that!

since i figured it out on my own, you verify from v(t) that v(0)=v. solve the diff eq then set t=0 and set it = to v. solve for constant C sub back into equation and get the anwser.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
