please read all directions and answer carefully An object in a potential well moves under theinfluence of a conservative force. There are noother forces acting on the object. Thepotential energy function associated with thisforce is given by the equation:C1C2U(x) =x2[ that says " C1/(x²) - C2/(x) " ]Where C1 = 3.6 joules · m² , and C2 = 1.1joules · m.[The units of C1 are "joules times squaremeters", and the units of C2 are "joules timesmeters." ]The positive direction is to the right, and xincreases in the positive direction.Calculate the conservative force (in units ofnewtons) on the object when it is at thelocation x =2.5 meters. A force to the rightis positive, and a force to the left is negative.The sign, positive or negative, is important.

U(x) = c1/x2 - c2/xPut c1 = 3.6c2 = 1.1U(x) = 3.6/x2 - 1.1/x

An object in a potential well moves under the influence of a conservative force. There are no other forces acting on the object. The potential energy function associated with this force is given by the equation: C1 C2 x2 [ that says " C1/(x²) - C2/(x) " ] Where C1 = 3.6 joules · m² , and C2 = 1.1 joules · m. [The units of Cq are "joules times square meters", and the units of C2 are "joules times meters." ] The positive direction is to the right, and x increases in the positive direction. Calculate the conservative force (in units of newtons) on the object when it is at the location a = 2.5 meters. A force to the right is positive, and a force to the left is negative. The sign, positive or negative, is important.
