Step 1
In this case, momentum is given by the product of mass and velocity, p = mv. So, force can be expressed as F = dp/dt. Show more…

An object with mass $m$ is moving along the $x$ -axis according to the equation $x(t)=\alpha t^{2}-2 \beta t,$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. What is the magnitude of the net force on the object at time $t=0 ?$
At t = 0, an object of mass m is at rest at x = 0 on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A horizontal force Fx = F0(1 - 2t/T), which decreases from t = 0 to t = T, is exerted on the object. Find an expression for the object's velocity and position at time T.
