Question: Consider the following U ( x ) graph. The function is U ( x ) = - 3 x 3 + 1 8 x 2

Consider the following U(x) graph. The function is U(x)=-3x3+18x2-6x-14 where U(x) is in joules and x is in meters. An object of mass 3.21 kg is released at x=1.0m with a velocity 6.60ms to the right.
A. What is the total energy? E=4.0
B. What are the potential and kinetic energies at x=3.16m?
U=4.0,K=4.0
C. What is the object's velocity at x=3.16m?,v=4.9V
D. What is the force on the object at x=3.16m?F=4.9
E. Where are the points at which the force on the object is zero? (List the smaller position first)
x1=4.0,x2=4.0
F. For all x shown on this graph, where is the velocity the greatest? ,x=4.9
G. What is the magnitude of this maximum velocity? ,v=4.0
H. For all x shown on this graph, where is the velocity the least?
x=4.0
I. What is the magnitude of this minimum velocity? ,v=4.0
Consider the following U ( x ) graph. The
