The figure shows a plot of potential energy U versus position x of a 0.310 kg particle that can travel only along an x axis under the influence of a conservative force. The graph has these values: UA = 9.00 J, Uc = 20.0 J and Up = 24.0 J. The particle is released at the point where U forms a "potential hill" of "height" Ug = 12.0 J, with kinetic energy 5.50 J. What is the speed of the particle at (a)x= 3.50 m and (b)x= 6.50 m? What is the position of the turning point on (c) the right side and (d) the left side? Up W 4 5 6 7 8 9 x (m) U (J) Uch UB UA 0 1 2 3
