Force and Potential Energy: a Potential Energy Function for System

question 55

Multiple Choice

Force and potential energy: A potential energy function for system 1 is given by U₁(x) = Cx² + Bx³. The potential energy function for system 2 is given by U₂(x) = A + Cx² + Bx³, where A is a positive quantity. How does the force on system 1 relate to the force on system 2 at a given position?

• A) The force on the two systems will be in opposite directions.
• B) The force is identical on the two systems.
• C) The force on the second system will be with less than the force on the first system.
• D) There is no relationship between the forces on the two systems.
• E) The force on the second system will be with greater than the force on the first system.
