5. One-Dimensional Potential Energy (20 points) A particle of mass m oscillates in a potential well created by a one-dimensional force where a and b are known positive constants. Assume the particle is trapped in the well on the positive side of the y-axis. a) Find and expression for the potential energy U(x) for this force.

The one-dimensional potential energy, Ur)(in Joules), as a function of distance, r (in m), between two ions may be generalized as: UnyAr +Br Where the first term,-Ar-1, describes the (long range) Coulomb electrostatic attraction and the second term, Br-9, describes the (short range) repulsion of neighboring electron clouds. A and B are constants. Determine the units of both A and B (do not include N as a unit, just put it in the standard kg-m-s units.

8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
