Question

A particle moving along the y -axis has the potential energy U=3.7y3J, where y is in m. 1)What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y=0m? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
2)What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y=1m? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
3)What is the y-component of the force on the particle at y=2m? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

F = -dU/dy = -d(3.7y^3)/dy

F = - 11.1y^2 N

1) F(0) = 0 N

2) F(1) = -11.1 N

3)F(2) = - 44.4 N
