A force parallel to the x-axis acts on a particle moving along the x-axis. This force produces potential energy U(x) given by U(x) = αx4 , where α = 1.25 J/m4. What is the force (magnitude and direction) when the particle is at x = -0.856 m?
A particle is constrained to move along the positive x-axis under the influence of a force whose potential energy is U(x) = U_0(2 cos x/a - x/a) where U_0 and a are positive constants. Plot U versus x. A simple hand sketch is fine. Find the equilibrium point(s). For each equilibrium point, determine whether the equilibrium is stable or unstable.
The figure shows a plot of potential energy U versus
position x of a 0.280 kg particle that can travel only
