Question

The force Fx acting on a particle is shown as a function of x in the figure below, where each grid spacing on the x-axis is 1.0 m.

x = -4 m work = J x = -3 m work = J x = -2 m work = J x = -1 m work = J x = +1 m work = J x = +2 m work = J x = +3 m work = J x = +4 m work = J

The force Fx acting on a particle is shown as a function of x in the figure below, where each grid spacing on the x-axis is 1.0 m. From the graph, calculate the work done by the force when the particle moves from x = 0.00 to the following values of x:

Explanation / Answer

work= area under curve

1 w=-(4+2)=-6 joule

2 w=-(2+2)=-4

3 w=-2 joule

4 w=-.5 joule

5 w=.5 joule

6 w=1.5 joule

7 w= 2.5 joule

8 w=3 joule
