A particle at the origin has an initial velocity of . If its acceleration is given by , find the position of the particle after 1 second.

4

A particle at the origin has an initial velocity of . If its acceleration is given by , find the position of the particle after 1 second.

5

A particle is moving in a straight path with a constant initial velocity. The particle is then subjected to a force causing a time-dependent acceleration given as a function of time:

After 10 seconds, the particle has a velocity equal to meters-per-second. Find the initial velocity in terms of the constants , and

Units are all in S.I. (meters, seconds, meters-per-second, etc.)
