Question 33

A particle of mass m falls from rest through a resistive medium having resistive force, F = -kv, where v is the velocity of the particle and k is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity (v) versus time (t)?

Now the forces acting on the particle are $$mg\ and\ F=-kv$$

so $$mg-kv=F_{net}$$

$$ma=mg-kv$$

$$m\times\ \frac{dv}{dt}=mg-kv$$

$$\frac{dv}{mg-kv}=\frac{dt}{m}$$

Integrating on both sides

$$\int\ \frac{dv}{mg-kv}=\int\ \frac{dt}{m}$$

$$-\frac{1}{k}\ln\ \left(\frac{\left(mg-kv\right)}{mg}\right)=\frac{t}{m}$$

$$v=\frac{mg}{k}\left(1-e^{-\frac{kt}{m}}\right)$$

Therefore option D is right
