FIGURE EXshows the force acting on a object as it moves along the x-axis. The object is at rest at the origin atWhat are its acceleration and velocity at ?

It shows an accelerometer, a device for measuring the horizontal acceleration of cars and airplanes. A ball is free to roll on a parabolic rack described by the equation, where both and are in meters. A scale along the bottom is used to measure the ball's horizontal position.
a. Find an expression that allows you to use a measured position to compute the acceleration. (For example, is a possible expression.)
b. What is the acceleration if

Starting from rest, a helicopter accelerates straight up at a constant What is the helicopter's height at the moment its blades are providing an upward force of ? The helicopter can be modeled as a-m-diameter sphere.
A horizontal rope is tied to a box on frictionless ice. What is the tension in the rope if:
