Question
The potential energy of an interaction is given by U(x)=ax², where a = +6.4 J/m². Initial speed of a 0.79-kg object in this system is 2.63 m/s at x = 0.
A.
How far does the object travel before it reaches a speed of v = 0?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
B.
Does your answer in the previous part depend on whether the object is traveling in the positive or negative direction?
Yes, the answer in the previous part is for the object traveling in the negative x� direction, the distance for the object traveling in the positive x� direction is greater than the obtained result. |
Yes, the answer in the previous part is for the object traveling in the positive x� direction, the distance for the object traveling in the negative x� direction is greater than the obtained result. |
No, it does not depend on whether the object is traveling in the positive or negative x� direction. |
