Part B Now consider a particle of mass m with angular momentum L moving in a central force potential U(r) = -kr-a where a = 2.5 and k is a positive real number. a. Make a sketch showing U(r), the centrifugal potential energy Ucr(r), and the effective potential Urr(r). b. Will this particle have a stable circular orbit? Briefly explain why or why not.
