Answer:
Explanation:
a ) F = (-kx + kx³/a²)
intensity of field
I = F / m
= (-kx + kx³/a²) / m
If U be potential function
- dU / dx = (-kx + kx³/a²) / m
U(x) = ∫ (kx - kx³/a²) / m dx
= k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
b )
For equilibrium points , U is either maximum or minimum .
dU / dx = x - 4x³/4a² = 0
x = ± a.
dU / dx = x - x³/a²
Again differentiating
d²U / dx² = 1 - 3x² / a²
Put the value of x = ± a.
we get
d²U / dx² = -2 ( negative )
So at x = ± a , potential energy U is maximum.
c )
U = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
When x =0 , U = 0
When x= ± a.
U is maximum
So the shape of the U-x curve is like a bowl centered at x = 0
d ) Maximum potential energy
put x = a or -a in
U(max) = k/m ( x²/2 - x⁴/4a²)
= k/m ( a² / 2 - a⁴/4a²)
= k/m ( a² / 2 - a²/4)
a²k / 4m
This is the maximum total energy where kinetic energy is zero.
Answer:
same as
Explanation:
According to Newton's 3rd law, the force that the Earth exert on the Sun would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
Also Newton's gravitational law states the formula for the attraction between objects with mass, is the same for both objects
Answer:
The answer is A. White Dwarf
Explanation:
- <u>average stars like sun end their life as white dwarf surrounded by disappearing planetary nebula. </u>
Opposites attract so north goes to south and Vice versa. When the same poles are facing each other they push away when they are opposites they attract.
