Consider the motion of a 1.00 kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = -(2.0 J?m)/x + (4.0 J?m2)/x2. Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 cm/s when it is located at x = 3.00 m

At which other position would the speed be equal to 3.00 cm/s? A)

3.00 m
B)

6.00 m
C)

4.50 m
D)

5.00 m
E)

The only position at which the speed is 3.00 cm/s is at x = 3.00 m.
