Sample:
1. A body weighing 445N is drawn along a rough surface.
the force applied in the same direction of motion is
135N and the frictional force is 90N. if there is an air
resistance whose magnitude (N) is equal to twice the
velocity at any instant. Determine the velocity and
displacement at any time t and t = 1s. Assume the body
started from rest.
2. A b o d y f a l l s i n a m e d i u m o f f e r i n g r e s i s t a n c e
proportional to the speed at any time. If the limiting
speed is 15m/s and if the body attains half the speed in
1sec. What was the initial speed?

Examples
1. Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the
amount present. In 100 years, 100 mg of radium
decompose to 96 mg. How many mg will be left after
another 100 years? What is the “half-life” (the time
required to decompose half the initial amount) of
radium?
2. The population of a certain community follows the law of
exponential change. If the present population of the
community is 144,000 and ten years ago was 100,000
when will the population double? In ten years what will
be the population of the community?

Examples
3. According to the Newton’s law of cooling, the rate at
which the heat is lost by a heated body is proportional to
the difference in the temperature between the body and
the surrounding medium (when that temperature
difference is very small). If the thermometer is taken
outdoors, where the temperature is 5˚C, from a room in
which the temperature is 20˚C, and the reading drops
10˚C in one minute, how long after its removal from the
room will the reading be 6˚C? after 30 seconds what will
the thermometer reading?
