7PRACTICE PROBLEM
A small ball of mass 50 g experiences a conservative force Fx in one dimension. If the ball is initially at x = 2.0 m and given a velocity of 15 m/s to the left. Determine the position of the ball's turning point.
Hint: To determine the position of the turning point, you need to find the point where the kinetic energy of the ball is zero, and the potential energy is at a maximum.
