The displacement of a particle with a mass of 225 g depends on time and is described by the function x(t) = -3.0t3 + 2.0t2 + 4.0t – 13. All constants are in SI units. Calculate the resultant force acting on the particle at time 2.3 s.

To find the resultant force acting on the particle, we need to take the second derivative of the displacement function with respect to time:

x(t) = -3.0t3 + 2.0t2 + 4.0t – 13

v(t) = -9.0t2 + 4.0t + 4.0 (first derivative)

a(t) = -18.0t + 4.0 (second derivative)

Now we can evaluate the second derivative at t = 2.3 s:

a(2.3 s) = -18.0(2.3) + 4.0 = -36.4 m/s^2

The resultant force acting on the particle at time 2.3 s can be found using Newton's second law:

F = ma

F = (0.225 kg)(-36.4 m/s^2)

F = -8.19 N

The negative sign indicates that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the particle's motion. Therefore, the resultant force acting on the particle at time 2.3 s is 8.19 N, directed opposite to the particle's motion.
