Problem 23

If a variable force of magnitude \(F(x)\) moves an object of mass \(m\) along the \(x\) -axis from \(x_{1}\) to \(x_{2},\) the object's velocity \(v\) can be written as \(d x / d t\) (where \(t\) represents time). Use Newton's second law of motion \(F=m(d v / d t)\) and the Chain Rule $$\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d v}{d x} \frac{d x}{d t}=v \frac{d v}{d x}$$ to show that the net work done by the force in moving the object from \(x_{1}\) to \(x_{2}\) is \(W=\int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} F(x) d x=\frac{1}{2} m v_{2}^{2}-\frac{1}{2} m v_{1}^{2},\) where \(v_{1}\) and \(v_{2}\) are the object's velocities at \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2} .\) In physics, the expression \((1 / 2) m v^{2}\) is called the kinetic energy of an object of mass \(m\) moving with velocity \(v\). Therefore, the work done by the force equals the change in the object's kinetic energy, and we can find the work by calculating this change.
