is acting on an object that is constrained to move along the x-axis. If the force moves the object 3m, from the origin, what is the potential energy difference due to this force acting on the object

Sagot :

Answer:

U = - ∫ F dx

U = - 3F₀

Explanation:

Force and potential energy are related

         F = [tex]- \frac{dU}{dx}[/tex]

         dU = - F dx

        ∫ dU = - ∫ F dx

        U- U₀ = - ∫ F dx

to solve the problem we must know the form of the force, if we assume that F = F₀ and U₀ = 0 for x = 0

         U = - F₀ 3
