Problem 1.99

At the moment t=0t=0 a particle of mass mm starts moving due to a force F=F0cosωt,F=F_{0} \cos \omega t, where F0F_{0} and ω\omega are constants. How long will it be moving until it stops for the first time? What distance will it traverse during that time? What is the maximum velocity of the particle over this distance?

Reveal Answer
 1.99. t=π/ω;s=2F0/mω2vmax=F0/mω.\begin{aligned} &\text { 1.99. } \quad t=\pi / \omega ; \quad s=2 F_{0} / m \omega^{2}\\ &v_{\max }=F_{0} / m \omega . \end{aligned}
