A particle is set in motion at time t=0 and moves to the right along the x-axis. (a) Suppose that its acceleration at time t is a=100e^(-1). Show that the particle moves infinitely far to the right along the x-axis. (b) Suppose that its acceleration at time t is a=100(1-t)e^(-1). Show that the particle never moves beyond a certain point to the right of its initial position and find that point. Explain why the particle "effectively" comes to a stop at that point.
