A single conservative force acting on a particle varies as vecF=(-Ax+Bx^2)hatiN , where A and B are constants and x is in meters. (a) Calculate the potential energy function U(x) associated with this force, taking U=0 at x=0 . (b) Find the change in potential energy and the change in kinetic energy of the system as the particles moves from x=2.00m to x=3.00m .

A conservative force acts on a particle as the particle moves along the positive x-axis from origin origin to x=2m . The force is parallel to x-axis. Now, consider four different cases, as shown in the figures, 1, 2, 3, and 4, where the forces is shown as a function of x. Rank the situations according to the change in potential energy associated with the force, least ( or most negative) to greatest ( or most positive).

The potential energy function for the force between two in a diatomic molecule can approximately be expressed as U(x)=(a)/(x^(12))-(b)/(x^(4)) , where a and b are positive constants, and x is the distance between the atoms.
