Figure shows a plot of potential energy U versus position x of a0.200 kg particle that can travel only along an x axis under the influence of a conservative force. The graph has these values: UA = 9.00 J, UC = 20.00 J, and UD = 24.00 J. The particle is released at the point where U forms a "potential hill" of "height" UB = 12.00 J, with kinetic energy 4.00 J. What is the speed of the particle at

(a) x = 3.5 m and

(b) x = 6.5 m? What is the position of the turning point on?

(c) The right side and

(d) The leftside?
