Serway & Jewett β Energy of a System: Problem 46.
(a) Take \( U = 5 \) for a system with a particle at position \( x = 0 \) and calculate the potential energy of the system as a function of the particle position \( x \). The force on the particle is given by \( (8e^{-2x})\hat{i} \). (b) Explain whether the force is conservative or nonconservative and how you can tell.
