    A particle experiences a variable force F→=(4xi^+3y2j^)\overrightarrow{F}=\left( 4x\widehat{i}+ 3y^{2}\widehat{j} \right) in a horizontal x−yx - y plane. Assume distance in meters and force is newton. If the particle moves from point (1,2)(1,2) to point (2,3)(2,3) in the x−yx - y plane, the Kinetic Energy changes by
