A particle moves in one dimension from rest under the influence of a force that varies with the distance traveled by the particle as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the particle after it has traveled \(3\, m\) is ................ \(\mathrm{J}\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(6.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to work energy theorem.
Work done by force on the particle \(= Change\, in\, KE\)
\(work\, done = Area \,under F-x \,graph =\) \(\int {F.dx\, = } \)
\(\begin{array}{l}
2 \times 2 + \frac{{\left( {2 + 3} \right) \times 1}}{2}\\
W = K{E_{final}} - K{E_{initial}} = 6.5\\
K{E_{initial}} = 0\\
K{E_{final}} = 6.5\,J
\end{array}\)
