A graph of Net Force F in Newtons versus Position x in meters. The vertical axis F ranges from 0 to 12 with major tick marks every 2 units. The horizontal axis x ranges from 0 to 5 with major tick marks every 1 unit. The graph consists of two segments: a linear segment starting at (0, 0) and increasing to (2.0, 10.0), and a horizontal segment starting at (2.0, 10.0) and continuing at a constant value of 10.0 N until it ends at (4.0, 10.0).
Net force exerted on a cart as a function of its position.
A cart of mass \(M = 2.0 \text{ kg}\) is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless track. A force sensor is used to measure the net horizontal force \(F\) exerted on the cart as it moves along the \(x\)-axis. The data from the sensor is used to generate the graph of \(F\) as a function of position \(x\) shown below. What is the kinetic energy of the cart when it reaches the position \(x = 4.0 \text{ m}\)?
