A particle of mass ? moves in one dimension along the ?- axis.
Its potential energy is given by ?(?) = ??3 − ??, where ? and ? are
positive constants.
(a) Calculate the force on the particle, ?(?). Find the
position of all equilibrium points and identify them as stable or
unstable.
(b) Draw an energy diagram showing the potential energy U, the
kinetic energy K, and the total mechanical energy E for bound
motion. Show the location of...
