For t 0, an object of mass m experiences no force and moves in the positive x direction with a constant speed vi. Beginning at t = 0, when the object passes position x = 0, it experiences a net resistive force proportional to the square of its speed: Fnet=mkv2i, where k is a constant. The speed of the object after t = 0 is given by v = vi/(1 + kvit). (a) Find the position x of the object as a function of time. (b) Find the objects velocity as a function of position.
