A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.45 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.45r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center.

Answer:

       [tex]PE = \dfrac{0.45 r^4}{4} [/tex]

Explanation:

given,

proportionality constant = 0.45

          F∝ r³

         F = k r³

using conservation of energy change in potential energy is equal to work done.

       d (PE) = F. dr

       d (PE) = k r³. dr

integrating both side

     [tex]\int {d (PE)} = k \int {r^3} dr[/tex]

       [tex]PE = \dfrac{k r^4}{4} + C[/tex]

given that at r = 0; PE = 0

       [tex]0 = \dfrac{k 0^4}{4} + C[/tex]

                   C = 0

       [tex]PE = \dfrac{k r^4}{4} [/tex]

       [tex]PE = \dfrac{0.45 r^4}{4} [/tex]

The magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.45r³ when the particle is at a distance of r from the force center is [tex]PE = 0.45\dfrac{r^3}{4}[/tex].

What is the potential energy?

Potential energy is the energy that is within the object due to its position.

We know that the magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3. therefore,

[tex]F \propto r^3\\\\F = kr^3[/tex]

We know that using conservation of energy change in potential energy is equal to work done.

[tex]d (PE) = F\cdot dr\\\\d (PE) = k r^3\cdot dr\\\\\text{Integrating both side}\\\\\int d (PE) = k\int r^3\cdot dr\\\\PE = k\dfrac{r^3}{4}+C\\\\[/tex]

As it is given that the value of the constant k is 0.45, therefore,

[tex]PE = k\dfrac{r^3}{4}+C\\\\PE = 0.45\dfrac{r^3}{4}+C[/tex]

As it is given that at radius r=0, the potential energy is 0, therefore,

[tex]0 = 0.45\dfrac{0^3}{4}+C\\\\C = 0[/tex]

Substitute the value of the Constant C as 0, therefore,

[tex]PE = 0.45\dfrac{r^3}{4}+0\\\\PE = 0.45\dfrac{r^3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.45r³, when the particle is at a distance of r from the force center is [tex]PE = 0.45\dfrac{r^3}{4}[/tex].
