A particle located in the one-dimensional potential field has potential energy function U(x)=ax2−bx3 where a and b are positive constants. The position of equilibrium corresponds to x?
Explanation
The figure shows an 11.7 ft wide ditch with the approach roads at an angle of 15∘ with the horizontal. With what minimum speed should a motorbike be moving on the road so that it safely crosses the ditch? Assume that the length of the bike is 5ft, and it leaves the road when the front part runs out of the approach road.
