The figure below shows a plot of the conservative force F in a unidimensional field. The representing the function corresponding to the potential energy (U) in the field is : |
\(f(x) = - \frac{dU(x)}{dx}\) \(\Rightarrow U(x) = - \int F(x) dx\) Here : F(x) = - kx ... where k is a positive constant. |
