A CD case slides along a floor in the positive direction of an x axis while an applied force acts on the case. The force is directed along the x axis and has the x component Fax 9x 3x2 ,with x in meters and Fax in newtons. The case starts at rest at the position x ! 0, and it moves until it is again at rest. (a) Plot the work does on the case as a function of x. (b) At what position is the work maximum, and (c) what is that maximum value? (d) At what position has the work decreased to zero? (e) At what position is the case again at rest?

A 2.0 kg lunchbox is sent sliding over a frictionless surface, in the positive direction of an x axis along the surface. Beginning at time t ! 0, a steady wind pushes on the lunchbox in the negative direction of the x axis. Figure 7-51 shows the position x of the lunchbox as a function of time t as the wind pushes on the lunchbox. From the graph, estimate the kinetic energy of the lunchbox at (a) t ! 1.0 s and (b) t ! 5.0 s. (c) How much work does the force from the wind do on the lunchbox from t ! 1.0 s to t ! 5.0 s?

Numerical integration. A breadbox is made to move along an x axis from x ! 0.15 m to x ! 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F ! exp($2x2 ), with x in meters and F in newtons. (Here exp is the exponential function.) How much work is done on the breadbox by the force?
