Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right!! The only force acting on a 1.7 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component Fx = -4x N, where x is in meters. The velocity of the body at x = 2.6 m is 9.6 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the body at x = 4.7 m? (b) At what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 6.0 m/s?
