Sorry for the incomplete question. If the particle starts at the position x = a, find its motion as a function of time.

It is the motion along a horizontal frictionless plane. I did F=m dv/dt= m dv/dx*dx/dt= -2ma2x-5 Then I fould potential energy by integration. However I could not find the motion of the particle.

Homework Statement If v(x)=ax-2, then what is its force in terms of x. What is its motion as a function of time when x=a? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution
