I need help with this problem...please help me. I'm sorry the axis of the graph look a little weird...my scanner is not working so I have to make the graph myself T___T

A 0.20 kg object moves along a straight line. The net force acting on the object varies with the object's displacement as shown in the graph above. The object starts from rest at displacement x=0 and t=0 and is displaced a distance of 20m. Determine each of the following.
a. The acceleration of the particle when it's displacement x is 6m
b. The time taken for the object to be displaced the first 12
c. The amount of work done by the net force in displacing the object the first 12m
For this one, I know W=Fx so I just take W= 4(12)= 48 J
d. The speed of the object at the displacement x=12
e.The final speed of the object at displacemnt x=20 m
f. The change in momentum of the object as it is displaced from x=12m to x=20m
I think I can work this out by using p= mv*final* - mv *initial*
For the whole problem..well, I know the area of the graph will be work...and W=Fx but I still don't know how it's related to acceleration or speed though? I'm just confuse with how to find the acceleration and speed. Once I have figure it out I think I'll know how to do the rest of the problem. So please help me just a little bit ^_^
