A 6.26-kg particle is subject to a net force that varies with position as shown in the figure. The particle starts from rest at x = 0. A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled x (m) and a vertical axis labeled Fx (N). There are three line segments. The first segment runs from the origin to (5,3). The second segment runs from (5,3) to (10,3). The third segment runs from (10,3) to (15,0). What is its speed at the following positions? (a) x = 5.00 m = m/s(b) x = 10.0 m = m/s(c) x = 15.0 m = m/s

A 6.26-kg particle is subject to a net force that varies with position as shown in the figure. The particle starts from rest at x = 0.

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled x (m) and a vertical axis labeled Fx (N). There are three line segments. The first segment runs from the origin to (5,3). The second segment runs from (5,3) to (10,3). The third segment runs from (10,3) to (15,0).

What is its speed at the following positions?

 
(a) x = 5.00 m
  = m/s

(b) x = 10.0 m
  = m/s

(c) x = 15.0 m
  = m/s
