A seaplane of total mass m lands on a lake with initial speed
v,i. The only horizontal force on it is a resistive force on its
pontoons from the water. The resistive force is proportional
to the velocity of the seaplane: R = - bv. Newton's second
law applied to the plane is – bvî = m(dv/dt)î. From the fun-
damental theorem of calculus, this differential equation
implies that the speed changes according to
°dv
dt
m
(a) Carry out the integration to determine the speed of the
seaplane as a function of time. (b) Sketch a graph of the
speed as a function of time. (c) Does the seaplane come to a
complete stop after a finite interval of time? (d) Does the
seaplane travel a finite distance in stopping?
An object with mass m is dropped from rest and we assume that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object. If s(t) is the distance dropped after t seconds, then the speed is v = s'(t) and the acceleration is a = v'(t). If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the downward force on the object is mg − cv, where c is a positive constant, and Newton's Second Law gives
m(dv/dt)=mg-cv
Solve this as a linear equation. (Use v for v(t).)
What is the limiting velocity? lim t → ∞
Find the distance the object has fallen after t seconds. (Use s for s(t).)
You drop an object of mass m from a tall building.
Suppose the only forces affecting its motion are
gravity, and air resistance proportional to the
object's speed with positive constant of
proportionality k. Let g denote gravitational
acceleration (a positive constant).
Express the total force in terms of m, g, and the
object's velocity v, where upward displacement is
considered positive.

mg - kv
Newton's second law tells us that force is equal to
mass x acceleration, F = ma. Relating
acceleration to velocity, rewrite the equation for
total force above as a first order differential
equation for v as a function of t. Denote v' as
