As a particle moves along the x axis it is acted upon by a single conservative force given by F_x = (20 − 4.0x) N where x is in m. The potential energy associated with this force has the value +30 J at the origin (x = 0). What is the value of the potential energy at x = 4.0 m? A) −48 J B) +78 J C) −18 J D) +48 J E) +80 J
