Question 97

Multiple Choice

Force and potential energy: A particle experiences a force given by F(x) = α - βx3. Find the potential field U(x) the particle is in. (Assume that the zero of potential energy is located at x = 0.)


A) U(x) = -αx + Force and potential energy: A particle experiences a force given by F(x) = α - βx<sup>3</sup>. Find the potential field U(x) the particle is in. (Assume that the zero of potential energy is located at x = 0.) A) U(x) = -αx + x4 B) U(x) = -αx - x4 C) U(x) = 3βx<sup>2</sup> D) U(x) = -3βx<sup>2</sup> x4
B) U(x) = -αx - Force and potential energy: A particle experiences a force given by F(x) = α - βx<sup>3</sup>. Find the potential field U(x) the particle is in. (Assume that the zero of potential energy is located at x = 0.) A) U(x) = -αx + x4 B) U(x) = -αx - x4 C) U(x) = 3βx<sup>2</sup> D) U(x) = -3βx<sup>2</sup> x4
