AP Physics C: Mechanics
3.4 Conservation of Energy
3.3 Potential Energy
A particle of mass \(m\) is constrained to move along the x-axis. The particle experiences a conservative force such that its potential energy \(U(x)\) is given by the function
\[ U(x) = Ax^4 - Bx^2 \]
where \(A\) and \(B\) are positive constants, and \(U(0) = 0\).
\[ U(x) = Ax^4 - Bx^2 \]
where \(A\) and \(B\) are positive constants, and \(U(0) = 0\).
