Potential Energy and Force
Potential Energy and Force We derived the potential energy function U(r) from the force function F(r). We should be able to go the other way-that is, to start from the potential energy function and derive the force function. This is Newton’s law of gravitation . The minus sign indicates that the force on mass m points radially inward, […]
