The force acting on a body of mass in the direction of motion changes with the distance travelled as shown in Figure 1 below.

  • How much work does the force do to travel a total distance, ?

  • What is the final velocity of the body if the body is initially at rest?

  • What is the final velocity of the body if the initial velocity of the body is ?
