A point particle of mass m=1kg is at t=0 at position x=0. It has initial velocity v0. From t=0 to tstop=2s it is under the influence of a constant force F. This is a 1D problem.
The top graph show the position of the particle. The bottom graph shows the Work done on the particle by the force and the kinetic energy of the particle.
Analyse this situation and calculate the work done by the force at any time. Is the work done in this case always sufficient to account for the change in kinetic energy?
What does it mean if the work is positive or negative?
