A Net Force Fnet=(x-3x2)i + (2y2-y3)j acts on a 3.5 kg particle. a) Calculate the net work done on the particle as it moves from (1.0m,0.0m) to (1.0m,4.0m). b) At (x,y) = (1.0m,0.0m), the particle's speed is 5.0 m/s. Find the particle's speed at (x,y) = (1.0m,4.0m).
Do the following situations result in positive work, negative work, or zero work? Force is perpendicular to displacement. A force slows an object down. Force acts in the same direction as displacement. Force acts in the opposite direction of displacement. A force acts on an object that remains stationary.

A loaded grocery cart is rolling across a parking lot in a strong wind. You apply a constant force F⃗ =(34N)i^−(44N)j^ to the cart as it undergoes a displacement s⃗ =(−8.6m)i^−(3.5m)j^. How much work does the force you apply do on the grocery cart?
A 2.0kg block starts with a speed of 10. m/s at the bottom of a plane inclined at 35° to the horizontal. The coefficient of sliding friction between the block and the plane is 0.30. use the work-energy theorem to determine how far the block slides along the plane before momentarily coming to rest. I know the answer is 6.2, I just don’t know how to get to it.
A0.40-kg particle moves under the influence of a single conservative force. At point A where the particle has a speed of (R2) m/s, the potential energy associated with the conservative force is +61 J. As the particle moves from A to B, the force does +18 of work on the particle. What is the value of the potential energy at point B?
