Shift-Click the green flag in the upper-right corner of the little project screen (make sure you see the words "Turbo Mode" in orange. (Follow what it says to do in that screen) Drag Around the Sliders Next to "b" and "m". When you are ready, press spacebar. When it asks you to graph, velocity vs time is type "v" (Type "x" for position, "a" for acceleration, "v" for velocity, "F" for force.) (The most significant data point is indicated as ("t", "Grapher: Max") which are variables showing on-screen.) To Graph anything else, press g To Show variables and lists, press s To Hide variables and lists, press h To show the Constants b and m, press c Click the blue button "See Inside" to see how this works.
Original Problem: A particle of mass m starts from rest at position x = 0 and time t = 0. It moves along the positive x-axis under the influence of a single force, Fx=bt, where b is a constant. The velocity of the particle is given by _____. a) [wrong answer] b) bt^2/(2m) c) bt^2/(m) d) [wrong answer] e) [wrong answer]
