Problem

Potential energy of interaction of a particle with a fixed point source U = V(l2 − 2l), where r is the distance between the particle and the source, V r2 r and l are positive constants having the dimension of energy and distance, respectively. In what region does the rectilinear motion of a particle occur, if the total energy of the system is equal to E?
