A 20 kg point particle starts at rest. It then experiences a constant force of 100 N in the x-direction and 50 N in the y-direction. Ten seconds after the force is applied, calculate the particle's velocity in the x-direction.
Added by Kenneth W.
Step 1
We can use Newton's second law, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. Given: Mass (m) = 20 kg Force in the x-direction (F_x) = 100 N Using Newton's second law: F_x = m * Show more…

A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x) = (-5x^2 + 7x) N. If its speed at x = -4.0 m is v = 20.0 m/s, what is its speed at x = 4.0 m?
