Aobject initially at rest at the origin is subjected to the time-varying force shown in the figure. What is the object’s velocity at?

An object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force: , direction opposite to the motion), where is a constant called the drag coefficient. For a sphere of radius the drag constant can be computed as , where is the viscosity of the liquid.
a. Find an algebraic expression for , the -component as a function of time, for a spherical particle of radius and mass that is shot horizontally with initial speed through a liquid of viscosity .
b. Water at has viscosity . Suppose a -diameter, ball is shot horizontally into a tank of water. How long will it take for the horizontal speed to decrease to of its initial value?
A rubber-wheeled cart rolls down a concrete incline. What is the cart’s acceleration if rolling friction is
(a) neglected and
(b) included?
Are the objects described here in equilibrium while at rest, in equilibrium while in motion, or not in equilibrium at all? Explain.
a. A 200 pound barbell is held over your head.
b. A girder is lifted at constant speed by a crane.
c. A girder is being lowered into place. It is slowing down.
d. A jet plane has reached its cruising speed and altitude.
e. A box in the back of a truck doesn’t slide as the truck stops.
A block of mass is at rest at the origin at . It is pushed with constant force from to across a horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is . That is, the coefficient of friction decreases from at to zero at .
