A line graph has time t in seconds on the horizontal axis from 0 to 6 and velocity v in meters per second on the vertical axis from 0 to 5. Straight line segments connect the points (0,0), (2,4), (4,1), and (6,5). The three line segments are labeled 1 on the rising segment, 2 on the falling segment, and 3 on the final rising segment. The graph above shows velocity as a function of time for a object traveling along a straight line. The graph has three segments labeled 1, 2, and 3. A rope exerts a constant force of magnitude on the object along its direction of motion the whole time. During segment 2 only, a frictional force of magnitude is also exerted on the object. For another identical object initially at rest, no frictional force is exerted during segment 2 (between and ). A rope exerts the same constant force of magnitude as in the previous scenario. What is the change in the objects kinetic energy during segment 2?
