Physics with Calculus
A force F(x)=2xF(x) = 2x N acts on an object moved from x=1x = 1 m to x=4x = 4 m. What is the work done, expressed in SI units?
A force-position graph shows a straight horizontal line at F=12F = 12 N from x=3x = 3 m to x=9x = 9 m. What method is most appropriate for finding the work done over this interval?
A robotic actuator pushes a crate along a track with force F(x)=(x2+2x)F(x) = (x^2 + 2x) N, where xx is in meters. How much work does the actuator do as the crate moves from x=1x = 1 m to x=3x=3 m?
A towing mechanism exerts F(x)=(x2−4)F(x)=\(\left\)(x^2-4\(\right\)) N on a sled as it moves from x=0x = 0 m to x=3x = 3 m. What is the net work done by the mechanism?
According to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, if G′(x)=F(x)G'(x) = F(x), then ∫abF(x)dx\(\displaystyle\]\int\)_{a}^{b}F(x)\,dx is equal to which expression?
