Question

The graphs show the potential energy of four different systems versus the position of a particle in each system. Each particle is set into motion with a push at an arbitrarily chosen location. Match each graph with a description of its subsequent motion. No force is exerted on the particle. The particle moves with constant velocity. The particle feels a constant force toward the left. It moves with constant acceleration toward the left. If its initial push is toward the right, it will slow down, turn around, and speed up in motion toward the left. If its initial push is toward the left, it will just speed up. The particle moves in simple harmonic motion about the lowest point of the potential energy curve. A constant force towards the right acts on the particle to produce constant acceleration toward the right.
