In one dimension, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between a particle of mass m 1 and one of mass m 2 is given by Where G is a constant and x is the distance between the particles. (a) What is the potential energy function U(x)? Assume that U(x) → 0 as x → ∞. (b) How much work is required to increase the separation of the particles from x = x 1 to x = x 1 + d?
