Problem

A particle of mass 0.5 kg0.5\,\text{kg} starts from rest at the origin and moves along the positive xx-axis under a horizontal force given by F(x)=12x  NF(x)=12\sqrt{x}\;\text{N}, where xx is in metres. The motion is along the line of the force. When the particle reaches x=4 mx=4\,\text{m}, answer the following. a. (a) Calculate the speed of the particle at x=4 mx=4\,\text{m}. b. (b) Determine the time taken to travel from x=0x=0 to x=4 mx=4\,\text{m}. c. (c) Hence find the average power delivered by the force during this motion.
