The graphs below show the magnitude of the force on a particle as the particle moves along the positive $x$ axis from the origin to $x = x_1$. The force is parallel to the $x$ axis and is conservative. The maximum magnitude $F_1$ has the same value for all graphs. Rank the situations according to the change in the potential energy associated with the force,from least (or most negative) to greatest (or most positive).

  • A
    $1, 2, 3$
  • B
    $1, 3, 2$
  • C
    $3, 2, 1$
  • D
    $2, 1, 3$

The graph between the resistive force $F$ acting on a body and the distance $x$ covered by the body is shown in the figure. The mass of the body is $25\, kg$ and the initial velocity is $2\, m/s$. When the distance covered by the body is $4\, m$,its kinetic energy would be .............. $J$.

$A$ body of mass $3 \ kg$ moves under the influence of a force such that its displacement is given by $s = t^3/3 \ m$. What is the work done by the force in the first $2 \ s$ in $J$?
