    How Do You Calculate Force from a Two-Dimensional Potential Energy Function?

    So it's the combined vector of Vy and Vx? Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that means that the force at (x, y) would be the net vector of the Epot up and downwards against Ekin? Finding those two would involve finding the integral of both Fx and Fy

    How Do You Calculate Force from a Two-Dimensional Potential Energy Function?

    Homework Statement A potential energy function for a two-dimensional force is of the form U = 3x3 * y - 7x. Find the force that acts at the point (x, y).[/B] Homework Equations In a 1-dimensional case: ΔU = -∫Fx dx dU = -Fx dx Fx = -dU/dx The Attempt at a Solution I know how to find the...
