Problem

An object moves along a straight line while a force acts on it according to F(x)=+5.0 NF(x)=+5.0\,\text{N} for 0≤x<2.0 m0\le x<2.0\,\text{m}, F(x)=−3.0 NF(x)=-3.0\,\text{N} for 2.0 m≤x≤6.0 m2.0\,\text{m}\le x\le 6.0\,\text{m}. Identify the displacement interval(s) over which the work done on the object is negative.
