Question 1. A block slides down a rough incline as shown in the diagram below. The frictional force is calculated to be 150 N and the force due to air resistance is 0.5v, where v is the velocity of the block. The weight acting down the slope (parallel to the slope surface) is 250N.

By applying Newton's 2nd Law of motion i.e ∑F=m dv/dt' show that the motion of the block can be modelled by the differential equation

dv/dt=2-1/100 v

Where v,t ≥0

∑F=ma=m (d² x)/(dt² )=mdv/dt
