Chapter 2, Problem 2.52P
A particle of mass m moving in one dimension has potential energy U(x) = U0[2(x/a)2 − (x/a)4], where U0 and a are positive constants. (a) Find the force F(x), which acts on the particle. (b) Sketch U(x). Find the positions of stable and unstable equilibrium. (c) What is the angular frequency ω of oscillations about the point of stable equilibrium? (d) What is the minimum speed the particle must have at the origin to escape to infinity? (e) At t = 0 the particle is at the origin and its velocity is positive and equal in magnitude to the escape speed of part (d). Find x(t) and sketch the result.

3.19 • Win the Prize. In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed gi-
raffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above
the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal dis-
tance of 2.1 m from this point (Fig. E3.19). If you toss the coin with
a velocity of 6.4 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal, the coin
will land in the dish. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of the
shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand? (b) What is
the vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it lands
in the dish?
