Hi everyone!
The potential energy U of a point mass is U(x)= Uoxo x/(x2 + xo2) where Uo and xo are positive contants, Uo in joule and x,xo in meters. Draw the graphs of U(x) and F(x).
F(x) = -dU/dx
I found the F(x) function and made the U(x) graph but I'm stuck with the F(x) graph and I'm not totally sure for anything that I found so far.
Thank you!
