How do we find work from a force-displacement graph when the force exerted
is not constant?

Explanation:

Read forces directly from the graph.

Read displacements directly from the graph.

Use the area under the graph to find the work done by the force. This is equal to the kinetic or potential energy the object gains due to the application of the force.

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
