In a rocket-propulsion problem the mass is variable. another such problem is a raindrop falling through a cloud of small water droplets. some of these small droplets adhere to the raindrop, thereby increasing its mass as it falls. the force on the raindrop is
fext=dpdt=mdvdt+vdmdt
suppose the mass of the raindrop depends on the distance x that it has fallen. then m=kx, wherek is a constant, and dm/dt=kv. this gives, since fext=mg,
mg=mdvdt+v(kv)
or, dividing by k,
xg=xdvdt+v2
this is a differential equation that has a solution of the form v=at, where a is the acceleration and is constant. take the initial velocity of the raindrop to be zero.
a) using the proposed solution for v, find the acceleration a.
b) find the distance the raindrop has fallen in
t = 2.00s .
c) given that
k = 2.00g/m , find the mass of the raindrop at t = 2.00s

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
