The Only Force Acting on an Object Moving Along the X-Axis

question 6

Short Answer

The only force acting on an object moving along the x-axis is the conservative force given by F(x)= (2.00 N/m)x + (1.00 N/m³)x³.
(a)What is the change in potential energy when the object moves from x = 1.00 m to x = 2.00 m?
(b)What is the change in kinetic energy when the object moves from x = 1.00 m to x = 2.00 m?

Definitions:

Neutral Stimulus

A stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention, until it is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.

Unconditioned Stimulus

In classical conditioning, a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning.

Partial Conditioner

An agent or factor that has a conditional effect, contributing to an outcome only in certain contexts or situations.
