A projectile P of mass m is fired from a point 0 with initial speed v0 at launch angle φ0 above a horizontal firing range. In addition to gravity, P is subject to the aerodynamic drag force by the surrounding air modeled as a quadratic function of speed where v is the velocity of P and k is a positive pa- rameter. 0 0 We are interested in studying the effect of Faero on various aspects of projectile motion.

2. Consider a point particle of mass m undergoing a one-dimensional motion under the action of a force F(x) =-kx + az where k and ? are positive constants. Follow Example 3 in the lecture notes on Differential equations and discover an integral of motion I(x,v) - const for this mechanical system. Plot the integral curves (x, v) in phase space, by using the ContourPlot command in Mathematica to plot the lines of constant I(x,v). Set significance. (6 points)
Problem 36 bclow presents a model describing the drag of a fluid medium that is released from rest at time t 0 (same initial conditions). Using Newton's Second Law, you build a model of the form particle moving through a (governing equation (initial velocity) mi mg-F drag '0 (0)(0)a (t) is the particle's position, m is the mass of the particle, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and Fa is the magnitude of the drag force.

A linear spring-mass system (without friction) satisfies m(d^2x/dt^2) = -kx, Derive that m/2 (dx/dt)^2 + k/2 x^2 = constant = E. Consider the initial value problem such that at t = 0, = x_0 and dx/dt = v_0. Evaluate E. Using the expression for conservation of energy, evaluate the maximum displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position. Compare this to the result obtained from the exact explicit solution.
A particle of mass m slides without slipping down and inclined plane of mass M. The plane(a triangle) in turn can slide along the horizontal surface without friction. Find the Lagrangian in terms of (x, s, dx/dt, ds/dt), where s is the distance the particle has traveled down the incline, and solve the corresponding Euler-Lagrangian equations. Let x(t) be the location of the block, relative to the fixed origin, and x(0) = dx/dt(0) = 0, as well as s(0) =...

Project 2 A Spring-Mass Event Problenm A mass of magnitude m is confined to one-dimensional motion between two springs on a frictionless horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 4.P.3. The mass, which is unattached to either spring, undergoes simple inertial motion whenever the distance from the origin of the center point of the mass, x, satisfies lxl < L. When x 2 L, the mass is in contact with the spring on the...
