Suppose the model in Problem 40 is modified so that air resistance is proportional to v2, that is,
See Problem 17 in Exercises 1.3. Use a phase portrait to find the terminal velocity of the body. Explain your reasoning.
(reference problem 17 in exercise 1.3)
For high-speed motion through the air—such as the skydiver shown in Figure 1.3.16, falling before the parachute is opened —air resistance is closer to a power of the instantaneous velocity v(t). Determine a differential equation for the velocity v(t) of a falling body of mass m if air resistance is proportional to the square of the instantaneous velocity.
