A 2.0 kg object is acted upon by a spring force characterized by the function F=-6x, (this means k = -6N/m). The speed of the object at x=3.0 m is 8.0 m/s. Determine the positive value for x where the speed of the object will be 4.9 m/s. Hint: The work done between values of x will be 1/2kx22-1/2kx12. Set this equal to the change in kinetic energy associated with the change in speed.
