You watch a ball that moves along a straight line. The ball has mass of 0.50
kg, and is acted upon by a net force of
.
When the ball is located at x = 2.00 m you notice that it has a speed of 4.00
m/s.
(a) Make a sketch of the force as a function of the distance, paying attention
to values at the axes.
(b) What is the initial kinetic energy?
(c) What is the net work done as the ball moves from 2.00 m to 5.00 m? How can
this be indicated on your sketch?
(d) What is the speed of the ball when it reaches x = 5.00 m?
