1987M2. The above graph shows the potential energy U(x) of a particle as a function of its position x.
a. Identify all points of equilibrium for this particle.
Suppose the particle has a constant total energy of 4.0 joules, as shown by the dashed line on the graph.
b. Determine the kinetic energy of the particle at the following positions
i. x=2.0m
ii. x=4.0m
c. Can the particle reach the position x=0.5m ? Explain.
d. Can the particle reach the position x=5.0m ? Explain.
e. On the grid below, carefully draw a graph of the conservative force acting on the particle as a function of x , for 0<x<7 meters.
