### Educational Exercise: Physics Problem

#### Problem Statement:
A force in the \(+\mathbf{x}\)-direction with magnitude 
\[ F(x) = 18.0\, \text{N} - (0.530\, \text{N/m})x \] 
is applied to a 7.10 kg box that is sitting on the horizontal, frictionless surface of a frozen lake. \( F(x) \) is the only horizontal force on the box.

#### Part A:
If the box is initially at rest at \(x = 0\), what is its speed after it has traveled 14.0 meters?

**Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.**

##### Input Box:
\[
v = \text{Value} \quad \text{Units}
\]

### Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to consider the following steps:

1. **Identify the force function \( F(x) \).**
2. **Apply Newton's Second Law \( F = ma \) to find acceleration as a function of x.**
3. **Use kinematic equations (or work-energy principles) to solve for the speed after traveling 14.0 meters.**

Please submit your solution in the provided input box and ensure answers are in the correct units. If any assistance is needed, refer to the provided feedback section for guidance.
