A 0.2kg particle moves along the x acis under the influence of a conservative force. The potential energy is given by
The correct answer and explanation is:
To provide the correct answer and a 300-word explanation, I need the full expression of the potential energy function that you mentioned — it seems your message was cut off after “The potential energy is given by”.
Please resend the full potential energy function, like:
- U(x)=5x2U(x) = 5x^2
- or U(x)=10−4x+x3U(x) = 10 – 4x + x^3
- or any other mathematical expression
Once you do, I can:
- Identify the force acting on the particle using F(x)=−dUdxF(x) = -\frac{dU}{dx},
- Determine the motion or equilibrium points,
- Explain the physics behind it clearly in 300 words.
Please provide the full potential energy function U(x)U(x), and I’ll take it from there!
