Homework Statement
The only force acting on a 2.4 kg body as it moves along the x-axis varies as shown below. The velocity of the body at x = 0 is 4.0 m/s.
(a) What is the kinetic energy of the body at x = 3.0 m?
(b) At what value of x will the body have a kinetic energy of 8.0 J?
(c) What is the maximum kinetic energy attained by the body between x = 0 and x = 5.0 m?

Homework Equations
Work is equal to the change in kinetic energy
W=F*d
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm at a loss here, I really just need some help interpreting what this graph is. I think a point in the right direction might get me started so any help is appreciated. I've been struggling a bit on work and kinetic energy and were already finishing potential energy in class so any help is appreciated heh
