Velocity of a Raindrop
The downward velocity of a falling raindrop at time t is modeled by the function v(t) = 1.2 ( 1−e− 8.2 t)
(a) Find the terminal velocity of the raindrop by evaluating lim t →∞ v ( t ). (Use the result of Example 3.)
(b) Graph v ( t ), and use the graph to estimate how long it takes for the velocity of the raindrop to reach 99% of its terminal velocity.

To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity.

a) A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. What is the time t needed to take off?

b) What is the speed v of the plane as it takes off?

c) What is the distance traveled by the plane in the first second of its run?

A pair of vertical conducting bars are placed in ahorizontalmagnetic field as shown below. A cross bar is placedbetween themand rolls freely on frictionless bearings. The bar hasmass mand length L and together with the rollers forms acompleteconducting loop. The total electrocal resistance (assumeconstant)of the circuit is modeled at the bottom as a singleresistorR.

1. Primary goal is to determine the velocity of the bar asafunction of time by following these steps:
a) Determine the current in the bar as a function ofthevelocity of the bar as it falls. Show direction of i.
b) Draw a FBD (free body diagram) for the bar andwriteNewton's 2nd law for this body.
c) Combine the results above to obtain a differentialequationfor the velocity.
d) Find the explicit function v(t). Find the expressionforthis velocity.
2. How long does it take for the bar to reach 90% oftheterminal velocity? What is the velocity at this time? Usethesevalues: B=0.15T, R=1.4Ohms, L=80cm, m=5.0g
3. Find the position function y(t). With this function andtheabove results, find the location of the bar and the current inthewire at the moment the bar reaches 90% of its terminalvelocity.Starting height of the bar is y=16m and t=0
