TopicVariable Force

3 A particle of mass 0.2 kg lies at rest on a smooth horizontal table. A horizontal force of magnitude \(F\) newtons acts on the particle in a constant direction for 0.1 seconds. At time \(t\) seconds, $$F = 5 \times 10 ^ { 3 } t ^ { 2 } , \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 0.1$$ Find the value of \(t\) when the speed of the particle is \(2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
