A ball rolls without friction along a track of changing elevation (vertical coordinate). The total energy (red line) and potential energy U (blue curve) versus horizontal distance x is shown in the figure below. The unit of energy is J (13 per grid line) and the unit of distance is m (0.5 m per grid line). U 6 S 4 3 2 1 o 0 1 2 At x = 1 m, what is the force on the ball? 0 - 10 N O +1.0N 0 -0.5 N O +2.0N +0.5 N
