If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .
I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect.
On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on.
The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?
X Represents the distance the spring is stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium or rest position.
Net force would be towards the right and back (opposite direction of motion) since it's slowing down (decelerating) and turning right.
Answer:
w= p∆v 50000 ( 0.55-0.40) and calculate and you get it
V= 1/3 π r²h
this is the formula for a cone hope this helps :)
