Question:

A particle can move along only an x axis, where conservative forces act on it (Figure and the following table). The particle is released at x = 5.00 m with a kinetic energy of K = 14.0 J and a potential energy of U = 0. If its motion is in the negative direction of the r axis, what are its?

(a) K and?

(b) U at x = 2.00 m and its?

(c) K and?

(d) U at x = 0? If its motion is in the positive direction of the x axis, what are its?

(e) K and?

(f) U at x = 11.0 m, its?

(g) K and?

(h) U at x = 12.0 m, and its

(i) K and?

(j) U at x = 13.0 m??

(k) Plot U(x) versus x for the range x = 0 to x = 13.0m. Next, the particle is released from rest at x are?

(l) Its kinetic energy at x = 5.0 m and?
