Problem

A 0.25 kg0.25\,\text{kg} toy car is acted on by a horizontal force that varies with position according to F(x)=2.0x+1.5F(x)=2.0x+1.5 (in newtons, with xx in meters). The car starts from rest at x=0x=0 and moves in the +x+x direction on a frictionless surface. Determine the car’s speed after it has traveled 1.8 m1.8\,\text{m}.
