All attempts used; correct answer
displayed
The -component of force is the negative derivative of the potential energy function:
Hence the -component of force is most positive at point A, where the potential
energy function has the most negative (downward) slope. The -component of force
is also positive at point E, but the curve there is less steep than at point A. At points
, D, and , the curve is flat, so the -component of force is zero. At point the
curve has a positive (upward) slope, so the -component of force at that point is
negative. The curve has an even steeper positive slope at point G, so the -
component of force is even more negative there.
