3 A particle \(Q\) of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) is acted on by a single force so that it moves with constant acceleration \(\mathbf { a } = \binom { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\). Initially \(Q\) is at the point \(O\) and is moving with velocity \(\mathbf { u } = \binom { 2 } { - 5 } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
After \(Q\) has been moving for 5 seconds it reaches the point \(A\).
- Use the equation \(\mathbf { v . v } = \mathbf { u . u } + 2 \mathbf { a x }\) to show that at \(A\) the kinetic energy of \(Q\) is 37 m J .
- Show that the power initially generated by the force is - 8 mW .
- The power in part (b)(i) is negative. Explain what this means about the initial motion of \(Q\).
- Find the time at which the power generated by the force is instantaneously zero.
- Find the minimum kinetic energy of \(Q\) in terms of \(m\).
