Question: A single conservative force acting on a particle varies as F = (-Ax + Bx2) i N, where A and B are constants and x

A single conservative force acting on a particle varies as F = (-Ax + Bx2) i N, where A and B are constants and x is in meters. (a) Calculate the potential-energy function U(x) associated with this force, taking U = 0 at x = 0. (b) Find the change in potential energy and the change in kinetic energy as the particle moves from x = 2.00 m to x = 3.00 m
