SITUATION 2. A particle moves along the x-axis with an initial velocity vx = 50ft/sec at the origin when t = 0. For the first 4 seconds it has no acceleration, and thereafter it is acted on by a retarding force which gives it a constant acceleration ax = -10. Calculate the velocity and the x-coordinate of the particle for the conditions of t = 8sec and t = 12 sec and find the maximum positive x-coordinate reached by the particle.
