QUESTION:
The potential-energy function for a force \(\vec{F}\) is U=αx3, where is a positive constant. What is the direction of \(\vec{F}\)?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The relation between force and potential energy in three dimension is given by,
Where U is potential energy function for force F, are the unit vectors along positive x-, y- and z-direction respectively.
