Problem

Repeat Example 2.4 by performing a calculation using a computer to solve Equation 2.22. Use the following values:

m = 1

kg,

v_0 = 10

m/s,

x_0 = 0

, and

k = 0.1

^{-1}

. Make plots of

v

versus

t

x

versus

t

, and

v

versus

x

. Compare with the results of Example 2.4 to see if your results are reasonable.
