Answer
Use the left and right arrow keys to trace the curve, up and down to jump between key points, and plus and minus to zoom.
| Point | t | y |
|---|---|---|
| x-intercept | 0 | 0 |
Step-by-step solution
6 stepsWrite the formula for work done.
The work done by a force along a curve is given by the line integral:
The force is given as .
The curve is parameterized by , , , from to .Express in terms of .
Substitute , , and into the expression for :
So, .
Find in terms of .
The position vector is .
Now, find the differential :
So, .
Calculate the dot product .
Combine like terms:
Integrate from to .
Evaluate the definite integral.
To subtract, find a common denominator:
The work done is .
