A particle moves along the x-axis with an initial velocity vx = 50 ft/sec at the origin when t= 0. For the first 4 seconds it has no acceleration, and thereafter it is acted on by a retarding force which gives it a constant acceleration ax = -10 ft/sec2. Calculate the velocity and the x-coordinate of the particle for the conditions of t= 8 sec and t = 12 sec and find the maximum positive x-coordinate reached by the particle

In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 2.69 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 6.40 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x will the block reverse direction and start sliding back down?

This problem uses the ideal spring force in one dimension. F = -kx, where x is the deviation from equilibrium, and k is the spring constant. Calculate the particle's maximum speed (vmax), with these numbers: k = 2000 N/m = 2000 kg/s2 m = 5 kg (the mass of the particle) x0 = 0.2 m (the initial position) v0 = 5 m/s (the initial velocity)
There is a particle with mass m = 2 kg attached to a smooth wire that is positioned horizontally so that the particle can only move freely in the horizontal direction. The particle initially moves with a constant velocity V0, = 7 m/s to the right, which is then pulled by a constant force at an angle that varies with time as shown below. If the function of the angle is θ(t) = 0.2t +0.3, where is calculated in radians and t is in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant force is F = 10 N. then calculate: (Review only for 0.3≤θ≤? ) a. The time it takes for the particle to reach its maximum acceleration! b. The velocity of the particle when the force is exactly on the vertical axis!)
