A particle mass is at rest at t=0. Its momentum for t>0 is given by px=6t^2 kg m/s, where t is in s. Find an expression for Fx (t), the force exerted on the particle as a function of time.
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
-
(1) momentum = m * v = p
(2) F = m * a
(3) a(t) = dv / dt
Therefore,
(4) F(t) = m * dv / dt = d(m * v) / dt = dp / dt
= d(6t^2) / dt
= 12t kg m / s^2
.
