A conservative force has the potential energy function U(x), shown by the graph above. A particle moving in one dimension under the influence of this force has kinetic energy 1.0 joule when it is at position x1. Which of the following is a correct statement about the motion of the particle? a. It oscillates with maximum position x2 and minimum position xo. b. It moves to the right of x3 and doe not return. c. It moves to the left of x0and does not return d. It comes to rest at either x0 or x2 e. It cannot reach either x0 or x2 If the particle is released from rest at position r0, its speed at position 2r0 is most nearly a. b. c. d. e. If the potential energy function is given by U(r)=br-3/2+c, where b and c are constants, which of the following is an expression for the force on the particle? a. b. c. d. 2br-1/2+cr e.
