A particle m is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity v. Assuming a resisting medium proportional to the velocity, where the proportionality factor is c, calculate the velocity with which the particle will strike the ground upon its return if there is a uniform gravitational field.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]v_0=v\sqrt{\frac{g-vc}{g+vc}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

v=initial velocity

resisting acceleration =cv

also gravity is opposing the upward motion

Therefore distance traveled during upward motion

[tex]v^2_f-v^2=2as[/tex]

Where a=cv+g

[tex]0-v^2=2(cv+g)s[/tex]

[tex]s=\frac{v^2}{2(cv+g)}[/tex]

Now let v_0 be the velocity at the ground

[tex]v^2_0-0=2(g-vc)s[/tex]

substituting s value

[tex]v^2_0=v^2\frac{g-vc}{(cv+g)}[/tex]

[tex]v_0=v\sqrt{\frac{g-vc}{g+vc}}[/tex]
