The magnitude of the gravitational force between a particle of mass ml and one of mass m
Question:
The magnitude of the gravitational force between a particle of mass ml and one of mass m2given by where G is a constant and x is the distance between the particles.
(a) What is the corresponding potential energy function U(x)? Assume that U(x) ?? 0 as x ?? ?? and that x is positive.
(b) How much work is required to increase the separation of the particles from x = x1 to x = x1 + d?
m;m2 F(x) = G x2 %3D
