A block of mass m is initially at the origin and moving to the right across a frictionless
surface with a speed of V0.
A force that varies with position is then applied to the block. The force is given by:
F(x)
= Ax?,
where A is a positive constant. What is the speed of the block after it has moved
from x = 0 to x = d?
At an amusement park there is a roller coaster ride ("ride of Steel"). After the first drop, riders are
moving at the speed of 33 m/s, entering an underground tunnel. Given the fact that the roller
coaster was moving at a speed of 1.11 m/s at the top of the hill, determine the vertical drop that
these participants fell through. Neglect friction.
A particle of mass m is subject to a conservatives force F= A/x1 where a is a
constant. The particle is initially at rest at the origin and is given a slight nudge in the
positive x direction. The speed of the particle as a function of x is
a.
