Potential energy is a......

The potential energy of a particle is given by $U = A - Bx^2$,where $x$ is the displacement. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the particle?

The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by $U(x) = \frac{a}{x^{12}} - \frac{b}{x^6}$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $x$ is the distance between the atoms. If the dissociation energy of the molecule is $D = [U(x = \infty) - U_{\text{at equilibrium}}]$,then $D$ is:

$A$ body of mass $2\, kg$ is situated at a height $5\, m$ above the ground. Its potential energy is reported as $70\, J$. The potential energy of a $3\, kg$ body situated at a height $1\, m$ above the ground will be reported as ................ $J$.

The potential energy of a body is given by $U = A - Bx^2$ (where $x$ is the displacement). The magnitude of the force acting on the particle is:

$A$ uniform chain of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table and one-third of its length is hanging vertically down over the edge of the table. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,the work required to pull the hanging part onto the table is:
