help me in linear diff equation with only variables given

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

problem is \[\frac{ dv }{ dt }+\frac{ k }{ m} v = \pm g\] g is constant;

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@myininaya

OpenStudy (sachintha):

@ganeshie8 @welshfella

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Hint : It is separable

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

oh so multiply both side by dt and m?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

am i right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Give it a try and see what you get

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

i got \[\frac{ dv }{ m } + \frac{ k }{ dt } = \frac{ \pm g }{ (dt)(m)}\] @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

What good is that ?

OpenStudy (sachintha):

You didn't multiply. o.O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Maybe just go with the linear thingy try finding IF

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Because the separable method involves painful algebra here

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[[\frac{ dv }{ dt } + \frac{ k }{ m } v = \pm g] (dt)(m)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

problem is \[\frac{ dv }{ dt }+\frac{ k }{ m} v = \pm g\] g is constant;

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

The equation is already in standard form. See if you can find the IF

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

so p is k/dt and q is g

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

P(t) is simply k/m here

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

oops yes \[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

First, convince yourself that the equation is in variables v and t not x and y

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

again, integral sign must always end with a differential

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

The expression \[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }}\] makes no sense

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

dm

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }} dm\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\LARGE IF = e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }\,\color{red}{dt}}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

k, m , g are constants here

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

ahsorry. cause were dt and dv

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

v and t are the variables

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

i dont know how to integrate only variables O.O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

k,m are constants. Just pull them out of the integral

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\frac{k}{m}t\)?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

so kt/mt

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\LARGE IF = e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }\,\color{red}{dt}} = e ^{\frac{ k }{ m }\int\limits 1\,\color{red}{dt}} \]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

okay so our if is just t

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes \[\LARGE IF = e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }\,\color{red}{dt}} = e ^{\frac{ k }{ m }\int\limits 1\,\color{red}{dt}} = e^{(\frac{k}{m})t}\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

so IF = t now?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

:/

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

why

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Stare at this \[\LARGE IF = e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }\,\color{red}{dt}} = e ^{\frac{ k }{ m }\int\limits 1\,\color{red}{dt}} = e^{(\frac{k}{m})t}\]

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(IF = \Large e^{\frac{k}{m}t}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

stare at that for few minutes and tell me why you think the IF is t

OpenStudy (sachintha):

This time it's not \(e^{\ln}\)

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

ah yes, so IF is just e^k/m (t)

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[(e ^{\frac{ k }{ m }t} ) v = \pm g(e ^{\frac{ k }{ m }t})\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\Large(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})v = \int \pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt+c\)

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@Sachintha can u finished it

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@inkyvoyd

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@Qwertty123

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Do you know to keep working on this?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

nope

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

okay, Not sure either... @ShadowLegendX @inkyvoyd

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

\[\frac{ dv }{ dt } + \frac{ k }{ m } v = \pm g\] \[P(t) = \frac{ k }{ m }\] \[Q(t) = \pm g\] IF. \[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }} dt\] \[e ^{\int\limits \frac{ k }{ m }t} \]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

whats next

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\large\begin{array}{ccc}&\int \pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt&=&\pm g\int (e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt\\&&=&\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{k}{m})+c\end{array}\) Not sure whether I have done it correctly.

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

but the answer in the book should be \[v = ce ^{\frac{ -km }{ t }} \pm \frac{ mg }{ k }\]

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

@inkyvoyd help pls

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Well if you rearrange the earlier equation with the result of the integration, it might get close to the final answer.

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

pls help.....................

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\begin{array}{ccc}&\large(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})v&=&\large\int \pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt+c\\&&=&\large\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{k}{m})+c\\&\Large\frac{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})v}{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})}&=&\Large\frac{(\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{k}{m})+c)}{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})}\\&\large v&=&\large ce^{-\frac{k}{m}t}\pm g\frac{k}{m}\end{array}\)

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Are you sure that you have written the answer of the book correctly?

OpenStudy (erikaxx):

yes i do right ciorrectly

OpenStudy (sachintha):

I didn't find any errors with my calculation. Might have overseen it. @SnuggieLad please check what's wrong. :)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

@Sachintha I know I'm a little late to the party, but real quick \[\large \int e^{\frac{k}{m}t}dt = ?\] \(\large u = \frac{k}{m}t\) so \(\large du = \frac{k}{m}dt\) meaning \(\large dt = \frac{m}{k}du\) Everything else looks great!

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Oops. So that's where I have gone wrong. I seemed to have differentiated it instead of integrating. -_- Pardon me.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\large\begin{array}{ccc}&\int \pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt&=&\pm g\int (e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt\\&&=&\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{m}{k})+c\end{array}\)

OpenStudy (sachintha):

\(\begin{array}{ccc}&\large(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})v&=&\large\int \pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})dt+c\\&&=&\large\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{m}{k})+c\\&\Large\frac{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})v}{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})}&=&\Large\frac{(\pm g(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})(\frac{m}{k})+c)}{(e^{\frac{k}{m}t})}\\&\large v&=&\large ce^{-\frac{k}{m}t}\pm g\frac{m}{k}\end{array}\)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

There we go! :)

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Thanks for showing the mistake I have done. :)
