A particle is accelerated along a curved path L under the action of an applied force. f(x)= 5e^-x N. Determine the work done by this particle when it travelled from L= 0 to L= 3m. W=?(0 to L) f(x)dx Work done by the particle can be computed by the above formula. In this case, distance L in meter, force f(x) in Newton and work W in Joule W = 4.00J W = 4.25J W = 4.50J W = 4.75J

Problem 3: A 4.1-kg particle moving along the x axis has a velocity of +4.0 m/s as it passes through the origin. It is subjected to a single force, Fx, that varies with position, as shown below. (a) (6 points) What is the kinetic energy of the particle as it passes through the origin? (b) (6 points) How much work is done by the force as the particle moves from x = 0.0 m to x = 4.0 m?
