Problem 2: Rate of momentum change for optimal control problem

[edit | edit source]

Given

[edit | edit source]

Envisage the below figure as free body diagram of an aircraft:

.

likewise consider the shown axes and vectors, for at :

.

Show that .

Solution

[edit | edit source]

According to the above figure, we can survey these two cases at and , the velocity of the aircraft after will reach to and the angle between the aircraft and horizontal axis will reach to the . Thus, regarding generated angle between two velocity vectors, we can write:

The amount of can be neglected in front of .

On the other hand, momentum is defined as . So, we have:

Assuming the amount of to be negligible in front of changes in velocity;

Finally, we can summarize the answer as:

.
