The only force acting on a 3.1 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component fx = -8x n, where x is in meters

. the velocity of the body at x = 2.0 m is 11 m/s. (a) what is the velocity of the body at x = 4.5 m? (b) at what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 5.8 m/s?

<span>(a) -9.97 m/s
 (b) x = 2.83

   This is a simple problem in integral calculus. You've been given part of the 2nd derivative (acceleration), but not quite. You've been given the force instead. So let's setup a function for acceleration.

   f''(x) = -8x N / 3.1 kg= -8x kg*m/s^2 / 3.1 kg = -2.580645161x m/s^2

   So the acceleration of the body is now expressed as
 f''(x) = -2.580645161x m/s^2

    Let's calculate the anti-derivative from that.
 f''(x) = -2.580645161x m/s^2
 f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + C m/s

   Now let's use the known velocity value at x = 2.0 to calculate C
 f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + C 1
1 = -1.290322581*2^2 + C
 11 = -1.290322581*4 + C
 11 = -5.161290323 + C
 16.161290323 = C

   So the velocity function is
  f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323

   (a) The velocity at x = 4.5
  f'(x) = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -1.290322581*4.5^2 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -1.290322581*20.25 + 16.161290323
  f'(4.5) = -26.12903227 + 16.161290323
 f'(4.5) = -9.967741942

   So the velocity is -9.97 m/s

   (b) we want a velocity of 5.8 m/s
5.8 = -1.290322581x^2 + 16.161290323
 0 = -1.290322581x^2 + 10.36129032
 1.290322581x^2 = 10.36129032
 x^2 = 8.029999998
 x = 2.833725463</span>

As shown in the figure below, Justin walks from the house to his truck on a windy day. He walks 20 m toward
juin [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is   v =0.333 \  m/s in positive x -direction

The speed is s = 0.733 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is  D =  20 m

  The distance traveled back to retrieve  wind-blown hat is  d =  15

  The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is  k =  20  m

  The total time taken is  t  =  75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

      L  =  20 - 15 + 20

=>    L  =  25 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

          v  =  \frac{L}{t}

=>      v = \frac{25}{75}

=>      v =0.333 \  m/s

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as  

         R =  D+ d + k

=>      R =  20 + 15 +20

=>     R =  55 \  m

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

            s = \frac{R}{ t}

=>         s = \frac{55}{ 75}

=>        s = 0.733 \ m/s
