    Find Work done by a force field

    Find the work done by the force field F in moving an object from P to Q. F(x,y) = (x^2)(y^3)i + (x^3)(y^2)j P(0,0) Q(2,1) so i need to integrate the gradient dot dr right? how do i do that?

    Calculate the final velocity of the cart

    well i asssume the system starts at rest, so the left side of your equation would = 0 and your equation would reduce to: m1*v1 + m2*v2 = 0 m1 = mass of the cart v1 = final velocity of the cart m2 = mass of a child v2 = final velocity of a child you need another equation to solve for...
