In particle physics, the potential energy associated with

Chapter , Problem 84

(choose chapter or problem)

In particle physics, the potential energy associated with a pair of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force is in one particular theoretical model written as the following function: where k and are positive constants, and r is the distance of separation between the two quarks.* (a) Sketch the general shape of the potential-energy function. (b) What is a general form for the force each quark exerts on the other? (c) At the two extremes of very small and very large values of r, what does the force simplify to?
