4 A particle of mass 0.5 kg is initially at point \(O\). It moves from rest along the \(x\)-axis under the influence of two forces \(F _ { 1 } \mathrm {~N}\) and \(F _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\) which act parallel to the \(x\)-axis. At time \(t\) seconds the velocity of the particle is \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
\(F _ { 1 }\) is acting in the direction of motion of the particle and \(F _ { 2 }\) is resisting motion.
In an initial model

• \(F _ { 1 }\) is proportional to \(t\) with constant of proportionality \(\lambda > 0\),
• \(F _ { 2 }\) is proportional to \(v\) with constant of proportionality \(\mu > 0\).
  1. Show that the motion of the particle can be modelled by the following differential equation.

$$\frac { 1 \mathrm {~d} v } { 2 \mathrm {~d} t } = \lambda t - \mu v$$

Solve the differential equation in part (a), giving the particular solution for \(v\) in terms of \(t\), \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\). You are now given that \(\lambda = 2\) and \(\mu = 1\).

Find a formula for an approximation for \(v\) in terms of \(t\) when \(t\) is large. In a refined model

• \(F _ { 1 }\) is constant, acting in the direction of motion with magnitude 2 N ,
• \(F _ { 2 }\) is as before with \(\mu = 1\).
• Write down a differential equation for the refined model.
• Without solving the differential equation in part (d), write down what will happen to the velocity in the long term according to this refined model.
