Question:
Suppose that the force acting on a particle of mass m is given by
F = kvx
in which k is a positive constant. If the particle passes through the origin (x = 0) at time t = 0 with velocity v0, find
- a)(4 points) the velocity dependence on position,
- b)(3 points) the position, x, as a function of t,
- c)(2 points) the time the particle needed to reach infinity.
