| (a)
A body of mass m initially at rest at a point O on a smooth horizontal surface.
A horizontal force F is applied to the body and caused it to move in a straight
line accross the surface. The magnitude of F is given by F = (1/(s + α)), Where S is
the distance of the body from O and α is the positive constant. If v is the speed
of the body at any moment, Show that S = α (e^((1/2)mv^2 ) − 1).
(b)
If F = 15s + 4 and m = 1 kg and the body is initially at rest at point O.
Determine,
(i) v when s = 2m (ii) s when v = 8m/s
