A motorboat weighs 32000 lb and its motor provides a thrust of 5000lb. Assume that the water resistance is 100 pounds for eachfood per second of the speed v of the boat. Then the equation modeling the motion is 1000 (dv/dt) = 5000-100v how did they get that equation, specifically why did they write 1000 dv/dt?
