Force and Opposing Force : Find maximum speed attained and distance travelled.

A particle of mass 10kg, moving in a straight line, starts at rest from a point A under the action of a force that decreases uniformly from 20N to zero in 20 secs. It then travels with a constant speed for a further 20s, and finally moves under the action of an opposing force of 40N until it comes to rest at B. Find the maximum speed attained and the distance travelled.


Solution Summary

The speed and distance travelled are examined for a particle under opposing forces. The solution is detailed and well presented. The response received a rating of "5" from the student who originally posted the question.
