Question 16

If a force $$F(x) = 5x^2$ N moves an object from x = 0$ to x = 2$ m, what is the work done?

Accepted Answer

$$W = \$$int_0$$^2 5x^2$ \, dx = 5 \left[ \frac{x^3$}{3} ight]_0^2$ = 5 	imes \frac{8}{3} = \frac{40}{3} J$$

Question 17

Which of the following best explains why integration is needed to calculate work done by a variable force?

Accepted Answer

Because the force changes as the object moves, so the total work is the sum of infinitesimal contributions.
