This is a problem of variable force acting on the body

Now at x = 2m/s, v= 3m/s

Kinetic energy at intial point = 0

Thus, change in kinetic energy at x=2/s is = (1/2)mv2

or Change in KE = 0.5*2*9 = 9 J

Here work done on the body is converted into its kinetic energy

Thus work done = F.d

But force here is a function of displacement x as follows

dF/dx = (9-0)/(2-0) from theabove condition
 
or dF/dx = 4.5 N/m

Thus force at any position x is given by

Thus F(x) = 4.5 x Newton

Thus work done by the force on the body is given by

W = [ 0][ 10] F(x).dx = [ 0][ 10] 4.5 x dx = 4.5 * 102/2 = 225 J
 
So kinetic energy gained by the object = 225J
 
or 1/2 m v2 = 225
 
or v2 = 225 or v = 15m/s
 
Thus final velocity of the at x = 10m is 15m/s

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.
