Problem Details

A system in which only one particle can move has the potential energy shown in The graph shows potential energy as a function of distance. Distance is measured from 0 to 5 meters. Energy is measured from 0 to U1 joules. Potential energy linearly rises from 0 to U1 at the distance interval from 0 to 1 meter. It linearly drops to 0 joules at the interval from 1 to 5 meters. . Suppose U1 = 80 J.

What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y = 0.5 m ?
