A particle of mass m is able to move along the x axis and is subject to a force
F = −ax2,
where a is a positive constant The particle is projected from x = 0 with a
velocity x dot = (v0) > 0.
Use the energy equation to show that the particle comes to rest at
x = (3m(v0)^2/2a)^1/3.

Method I: Energy equation:

Work done by the force = K.E. lost by the particle

S F dx = 1/2 mv0^2

S -ax^2 dx (from 0 to x) = 1/2 mv0^2

-a[x^3/3] (from 0 to x) = 1/2 mv0^2

ax^3 / 3 = 1/2 mv0^2

x = [3mv0^2 / 2a]^1/3




Method II: Force equation:

F = -ax^2

mx" = -ax^2

mv dv/dx = -ax^2

Separating variables,

m S v dv (from v0 to 0) = -a S x^2 dx (from 0 to x)

m[v^2/2] (from v0 to 0) = -a[x^3/3] (from 0 to x)

mv0^2 / 2 = ax^3 / 3

The required distance, x = [3mv0^2 / 2a]^1/3
