A 0.150 kg particle moves along an x axis according to x(t) = −13.00 + 2.00t + 3.50t2 − 2.50t3, with x in meters and t in seconds. In unit-vector notation, what is the net force acting on the particle at t = 3.55 s?
F with arrow = ______ N
mass of the particle m = 0.15 kg
time t = 3.55 s
position vector x(t) = -13.00 + 2.00t + 3.50t2 - 2.50t3,
velocity v = dx/dt
= 0 + 2.00 + 2*3.5 t - 2.5*3 t2
= 2.00 + 7 t - 7.5 t2
acceleration a = dv/dt
= 7- 15 t
force along the x-axis is
F = (ma) i^
= [(0.15 kg)( 7 - 15 t)] i^
= [(0.15 kg)( 7 - 15*3.55 s)] i^
= [-6.93 N] i^
