The potential energy function for a part...

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by V(x) =kx^2/2, where k is the force constant of the oscillator. For `k = 0.5 N ^-1`, the graph of V(x) versus x is shown in Fig. 6.12. Show that a particle of total energy 1 J moving under this potential must ‘turn back’ when it reaches x = ± 2 m.,br>
