I have these mechanics questions. And I’m very confused about part iii. Any hints and tips on where to start would be much appreciated!
The first photo is my attempt at part i and ii

I had it down as dx/dt to make it an ODE

Im not sure what youre proposing. There are lots of examples of getting an ODE from newtons laws of motion.

if you replace a with dv/dt that will help you
and, as well as bears hint, a similar, worked example
