Q. The graph of potential energy $(U (x))$ versus distance $(x)$ is shown in the following figure. The force $(F)$ versus distance $(x)$ graph will be represented by
(Assume that the force is conservative)

$∵ F = \frac{- d U}{d x} = - ($ slope of $U$ versus $x$ curve $)$
For $◯ A$
$F = - (+$ ve constant $) = -$ ve constant
For $A B$
$F = - (0) = 0$
So, $F (x) = {- ve constant; 0; for O A for A B$

Q. The graph of potential energy (U(x)) versus distance (x) is shown in the following figure. The force (F) versus distance (x) graph will be represented by (Assume that the force is conservative)

∵F=dx−dU​=−( slope of U versus x curve ) For ◯A F=−(+ ve constant )=− ve constant For AB F=−(0)=0 So, F(x)={− ve constant; 0;​ for OA for AB​
