Question

The figure is a graph of potential energy vs. interatomic distance for a particular diatomic molecule (that is, a molecule consisting of two atoms). What is the direction of the associated force at location A? To the left No force To the right At location To the left No force To the right At location C To the left To the right No force Rank the magnitude of the force at locations A, B, and C (that is, which is greatest, which is smallest, are any of these equal to each other). For the energy level shown in the figure above, imagine drawing a line whose length represents the kinetic energy when the system is at location r_0. This line runs from where to where? from 4 to 2 from 1 to 2 from 4 to 5 from 2 to 3 from 2 to 5 from 1 to 3

Explanation / Answer

a)    Direction of associated force at location A -   to the Right

b)   Direction of associated force at location B -    zero

c)    Direction of associated force at location C -   to the Left

d)    Rank the magnitude of Force

    A > C > B

e)    The line runs from   :--

    from 2 to 3
