The force applied against an object moving horizontally on a linear path is described by F(x)=4x2+5x. By how much does the object's kinetic energy change as the object moves from x[1,2]?

353unit

Explanation:

Kinetic energy gained by the object is equlal to the work done by the aplied foce .So KE= 21F(x)dx=21(4x2+5x)dx
=[4x33+5x22]21=4233+522241315121=353
