Answer

$x_{max} = 10.75~m$

Work Step by Step

According to part (l), the kinetic energy at $x = 5.0~m$ is $11~J$ When the particle reaches $x = 8.00~m$, a force of $-4.00~N$ acts on it. We can find $x$, the distance past $8.00~m$ that the particle reaches: $K+W = 0$ $11~J+(-4.00~N)(x) = 0$ $x = \frac{11~J}{4.00~N}$ $x = 2.75~m$ Then: $~~x_{max} = 10.75~m$
