The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation n a = k (1 e x),

Question:

The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation n a = k (1− e− x), where k is a constant. Knowing that the velocity of the particle is v = +9 m/s when x = −3m and that the particle comes to rest at the origin, determine

(a) The value of k,

(b) The velocity of the particle when x = − 2 m.
