Chapter 39, Problem 39.81P
A particle with mass m moves in a potential U(x) = A |x|, where A is a positive constant. In a simplified picture, quarks (the constituents of protons, neutrons, and other particles, as will be described in Chapter 44) have a potential energy of interaction of approximately this form, where x represents the separation between a pair of quarks. Because U(x) → ∞ as x → ∞, it’s not possible to separate quarks from each other (a phenomenon called quark confinement), (a) Classically, what is the force acting on this particle as a function of x? (b) Using the uncertainty principle as in Problem 39.92, determine approximately the zero-point energy of the particle.

A particle moving in one dimension interacts with a potential V(x).In a stationary state of this system, Show that:
1/2<x partial V/Partial x>=<T>
Where T=P2/2m is the kinetic energy of the particle.
In Lagrangian mechanics, the Lagrangian technique tells us that when dealing with
particles or rigid bodies that can be treated as particles, the Lagrangian can be defined
as:
L = T-V where T is the kinetic energy of the particle, and V the potential energy of the
particle. It is also advised to start with Cartesian coordinates when expressing the
kinetic energy and potential energy components of the Lagrangian
e.g. T = m (x² + y² + ²). To express the kinetic energy and potential energy in
some other coordinate system requires a set of transformation equations.
