Question

A object of mass 3.00 kg is subject to a force Fx that varies with position as in the figure below.

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled x (m) and a vertical axis labeled Fx (N). There are three line segments. The first segment runs from the origin to (6,2). The second segment runs from (6,2) to (11,2). The third segment runs from (11,2) to (17,0).
(a) Find the work done by the force on the object as it moves from 
x = 0
 to 
x = 6.00 m.

  J

(b) Find the work done by the force on the object as it moves from 
x = 6.00 m
 to 
x = 11.0 m.

  J

(c) Find the work done by the force on the object as it moves from 
x = 11.0 m
 to 
x = 17.0 m.

  J

(d) If the object has a speed of 0.450 m/s at 
x = 0,
 find its speed at 
x = 6.00 m
 and its speed at 
x = 17.0 m.
speed at 
x = 6.00 m
    
 m/s
speed at 
x = 17.0 m
    
 m/s
