Chapter 6 Problem 26P

Question

A \(5.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) object initially at rest at the origin is subjected to the time-varying force shown in FIGURE P6.26. What is the object's velocity at \(t=6 \mathrm{~s}\)?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Using the given force time graph, we need to calculate the object's velocity at time \(t=6 s\). The mass of the object is given to be \(m=5 \mathrm{~kg}\).

By applying Newton's second law \(\left(F_{x}=m a_{x}\right)\), we can draw acceleration-time graph using the given force time graph, as shown below

                                               \(a_{x}=\frac{F_{z}}{m}\)

Using the above equation, the Acceleration-time graph will be,
