The graph shows the potential energy as a function of x-position for a particle in a one dimensional potential energy. The particle is constraint to only move in the +/- x directions. Assume no other forces do work. The kinetic energy of the particle at x = 0 is 0.2 joules. At what points does the particle turn around? See Ch 10.5 for discussion of energy diagrams.
