Paper Details

A force Fx acting on a particle is shown as a function of x in Figure.
(a) From the graph, calculate the work done by the force when the particle moves from x = 0 to the following values of x: ?4, ?3, ? 2, ?1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 m.
(b) Plot the potential energy U versus x for the range of values of x from -4 m to + 4 m, assuming that U = 0 at x = 0.
