We are given the potential energy graph of a particle. The relationship between force and potential energy is:
Force:
A system in which only one particle can move has the potential energy shown in . Suppose U1 = 80 J.
(a) What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y = 0.5 m ?
(b) What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y = 4 m?
