A powered launch system moves an inspection capsule along a straight, level rail. The capsule speeds up during both stages of its motion. Forces opposing the motion can be ignored.
In each stage, the force acts in the direction in which the capsule moves.
| Stage | Force in N | Distance moved in m |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 600 | 4.0 |
| 2 | 350 | 8.0 |
Give the energy store of the capsule that increases as the launch system does work on it.
Calculate the increase in this energy store during the two stages.
