Question

For a one-dimensional conservative system with potential energy U(x)U(x), which expression gives the force along the xx-axis?

Accepted Answer

F(x)=−dUdx\displaystyle F(x)=-\frac{dU}{dx}

Answer

F(x)=−Ux\displaystyle F(x)=-\frac{U}{x}

Answer

F(x)=dUdx\displaystyle F(x)=\frac{dU}{dx}

Answer

F(x)=xdUdx\displaystyle F(x)=x\frac{dU}{dx}
