The net force on a particle of mass m has the potential energy function graphed in Fig.
Question:
Fig. 7.24a
A hypothetical potential-energy function U(x)
Transcribed Image Text:
Unstable equilibrium points are maxima in the potential-energy curve. A particle is initially at x = x1: If the total energy E > Ez, the particle can “escape" to x > x4*E, If E = E, the particle is trapped between x, and x E, If E = E1, the particle is trapped between xg and x" E, Minimum possible energy is Eg; the particle is at rest at x Stable equilibrium points are minima in the potential-energy curve.

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.
