1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

You are given Force as a function of distance (F vs x). Find the change in kinetic energy from $x=a $ to $x=b$.





2. Relevant equations



see attempt solution

conservation of energy equations



3. The attempt at a solution



Since F = -dU/dx we get the integral of F = U.



Then do U(b)-U(a) to get the answer.



Is this right?
