The document is a tutorial discussing the motion of a boat drifting away from a buoy at a constant speed and angle. It includes mathematical formulations for the coordinates of the boat over time and the rate of change of distance from the buoy. Additionally, it addresses the dynamics of a falling body under the influence of gravity and air resistance, providing a differential equation for analysis.

Tutorial
A boat that was to pass by a bouy at a distance of 10
meters starts drifting at an angle of 30◦ away from the
bouy, when it is closest to the bouy. Find the rate at which
the distance between the boat and bouy increases with
time, assuming that the speed of the boat is constant v m/s.

Tutorial
at t = 0 assume the bouy coordinates as (0,0) and the
boat coordinates as (0,10).

Tutorial
at t = 0 assume the bouy coordinates as (0,0) and the
boat coordinates as (0,10).

What are the coordinates of the boat as a function of time?

Tutorial
at t = 0 assume the bouy coordinates as (0,0) and the
boat coordinates as (0,10).

What are the coordinates of the boat as a function of time?

x = cos(π/6)vt, y = 10 + sin(π/6)vt

Tutorial
Find the rate of change of the distance.
s2 = x 2 + y 2

Tutorial
Find the rate of change of the distance.
s2 = x 2 + y 2

s =x +y

Tutorial
In realistic situations the speed of a falling body is given by

dv
= g − bv
dt
where b is a constant air drag on the falling body, in a free
fall, how does the speed of the falling body change with
time? Will it keep on increasing, go to zero or tend to
become constant?

Tutorial
Solve the equation by making a change of variables
u = bv − g and using the fact that v (0) = 0

dv
= g − bv
dt
