A body of mass m is moving in one dimension under the influence of a conservative force
Question:
Suppose the potential energy has the form
where c and a are positive constants. Sketch this potential and the force resulting from it Find the position of stable equilibrium and calculate the angular frequency of small oscillations about this position.
dx? Jimr.
Step by Step Answer:
The force F is given by x dUdx and if x 0 is a position of equilibrium the force must be zero at thi...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
