To find the force acting on the particle at point A(1m, 3m, 5m) given the potential energy function \( U = -(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between force and potential energy The force \( \mathbf{F} \) acting on a particle can be derived from the potential energy \( U \) using the formula: \[ \mathbf{F} = -\nabla U \] where \( \nabla U \) is the gradient of the potential energy function. ...
