TopicVariable Force

1 A particle \(P\) of mass 0.2 kg is released from rest at a point \(O\) on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force of magnitude \(t \mathrm { e } ^ { - v } \mathrm {~N}\) directed away from \(O\) acts on \(P\), where \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) is the velocity of \(P\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after release. Find the velocity of \(P\) when \(t = 2\).
