A conservative force F(x) acts on a 2.0 kg particle that moves along the x axis. The potential energy U(x) associated with F(x) is graphed in the figure below. When the particle is at x = 2.0 m, its velocity is -1.5 m/s. The "kinks" in the graph occur at (1, -2.8), (4, -17.2), and (8.5, -17.2); and the endpoint is at (15, -2). U(x) (J) 0 -5 -10 5-15 -20 0 --Select--- ✓ 5 (a) What are the magnitude and direction of F(x) at this position? magnitude N direction x (m) 10 (c) What is its speed at x = 7.0 m? m/s (b) Between what limits of x does the particle move? m (smallest x-value) m (largest x-value) 15
