Consider a point mass m that moves on the x- axis, subject to the electric field generated by two masses M simmetrically displaced at distance d from the x-axis: - to what Force is the point mass subject to: F(x)=? (for any x) - what is the Potential Energy: U(x)? - find position x of equilibrium: x_eq=? - if we consider a small velocity v_max, if the point mass is moving with a small oscillation, what is the maximum distance x_max from x_eq?

Consider a point mass m that moves on the x-
axis, subject to the electric field generated by
two masses M simmetrically displaced at
distance d from the x-axis:
- to what Force is the point mass subject to:
F(x)=? (for any x)
- what is the Potential Energy: U(x)?
- find position x of equilibrium: x_eq=?
- if we consider a small velocity v_max, if the
point mass is moving with a small oscillation,
what is the maximum distance x_max from
x_eq?
