Question
A particle of mass m falls from rest through a resistive medium having resistive force, , where v is the velocity of the particle and k is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity (v) versus time(t) ?
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
$M \cdot \frac{dv}{dt} = mg - kv$
$$\begin{matrix} & \ \int_{0}^{v}\mspace{2mu}\mspace{2mu}\frac{dv}{mg - kv} = \int_{0}^{t}\mspace{2mu}\mspace{2mu}\frac{dt}{\text{ }m} \\ & \frac{- 1}{k}ln\left( \frac{mg - kv}{mg} \right) = \frac{t}{\text{ }m} \\ & v = \frac{mg}{k}\left( 1 - e^{- kt/m} \right) \end{matrix}$$
