i) Calculate numerically the maximum and minimum values that the height y(t), velocity v(t), and acceleration a(t) of a ball with a mass of m=0.5kg thrown vertically upward direction. (20 points) The ball moves under air resistance proportional to the square of its speed, with a resistance coefficient given as cd=25??1000(kgm). It starts from position y(0)=0 with an initial velocity of v(0)=525ms. The gravitational acceleration is taken as g=9.81ms2. The equations of motion for the ball are given below:
dvdt=-g-cdmv|v|(1)
dydt=v(2)
Equation (1) shows the velocity-dependent change in acceleration and can be solved using the first-order forward finite difference method. The velocity values obtained here can then be used in numerical integration (trapezoidal method) to find the corresponding y values, as seen in Equation (2).
ii) How long (in seconds) does it take for the ball to fall back to the ground? (10 points)
iii) Calculate the terminal velocity the ball can reach when it rises to the highest point and falls back. At what second and at what height (in meters) does it reach half of this velocity? (20 points) You may use electronic spreadsheets for your calculations. You can take the finite difference time interval as t=0.01s.
