Step 1
We know that acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. In this case, we need to find the derivative of v with respect to x. Taking the derivative of v = ebx with respect to x, we get: dv/dx = d/dx (ebx) Using the chain rule, we can Show more…

A particle of mass $m$ is subject to a force $\vec{F}=(a \sqrt{x}) \hat{i},$ 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. Find an expression for its speed as a function of position $x$
A particle of unit mass undergoes one-dimensional motion such that its velocity varies according to v(x) = bx–2n where b and n are constants and x is the position of the particle. The acceleration of the particle as d function of x, is given by

The displacement x of a particle moving in one dimension under the action of the constant force is related to the time by the equation t= x ? 3 where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the velocity of the particle .
