1. A single conservative force acting on a particle within a system varies as
= (− Ax + Bx6)ihat N, where A and B are constants,
is in Newtons, and x is in meters.
(a) Calculate the potential energy function U(x) associated with this force, taking U = 0 at x = 0.
(b) Find the change in potential energy and change in kinetic energy as the particle moves from
x = 1.30 m to x = 3.60 m.
2. I got Ax^2/2 - b^7/2 but it was wrong so I'm really confused on how to go about this problem
Thanks!
