A Particle Experiences a Force Given by F(x) = α

Question 17

Multiple Choice

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 + 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) = 3βx2 D) U(x) = -3βx2 x4
B) U(x) = αx - 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) = 3βx2 D) U(x) = -3βx2 x4
C) U(x) = 3βx2
