A Potential Energy Function Is Given by U(x)= (3

question 3

Short Answer

A potential energy function is given by U(x)= (3.00 J)x + (1.00 J/m²)x³.What is the force function F(x)that is associated with this potential energy function?

Land Breeze

A local wind that blows from the land to the sea due to higher- pressure air over the land.

Offshore Breeze

A wind that blows from the land towards the sea, typically during the day due to temperature differences.

Low Pressure

An area where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of the surrounding regions, often leading to poor weather conditions.

Water Vapor

The gaseous phase of water, present in the atmosphere, which plays a critical role in the Earth's weather and climate systems.
