I'm brushing up on my physics, and I've been struggling with this problem in my head. I hope you can help.

Let's assume that we have some object/particle that only moves along a single axis $(x)$($x$). We observe that this object moves along the $x-axis$ $x$-axis, and we note its position at different times.

We also note that a certain amount of force or work is done in the opposite direction for the object to move in the opposite direction.

For example:

At $t0$ $t_0$, the object is at position $2$ along the $x-axis$$x$-axis. At $t1$$t_1$ it's at $1$ and $t2$$t_2$ it's at $12$ and $t3$$t_3$ it's at $10$ etc.

I know we can calculate the speed and velocity of this object. Is it possible to figure out what the object's mass is?

Is there anything else that could be understood or derived from this motion, perhaps the force needed or applied at $t1$$t_1$ and $t2$$t_2$ for this object to change its direction? Anything about energy or momentum or inertia that could be interesting that could be understood from this?

If we know the location of object at different times, what more can we find out from it?

I'm brushing up on my physics, and I've been struggling with this problem in my head. I hope you can help.

Let's assume that we have some object/particle that only moves along a single axis (x)$(x)$. We observe that this object moves along the x-axis$x-axis$ , and we note its position at different times.

We also note that a certain amount of force or work is done in the opposite direction for the object to move in the opposite direction.

For example: at t0

At $t0$ , the object is at position 2$2$ along the x-axis$x-axis$. At t1$t1$ it's at 1$1$ and t2$t2$ it's at 12$12$ and t3$t3$ it's at 10$10$ etc.
