Paper 4, Section II, C
A particle of mass experiences, at the point with position vector , a force given by
where and are positive constants and is a constant, uniform, vector field.
(i) Show that is constant. Give a physical interpretation of each term and a physical explanation of the fact that does not arise in this expression.
(ii) Show that is constant.
(iii) Given that the particle was initially at rest at , derive an expression for at time .
