    Find position when a particle comes to rest from a potential energy function

    A 1kg particle is in a potential given in joules by U(x)=4x2+5x-3, where x is in meters. The particle is initially at position x=1m and moving with velocity v=6m/s in the +x direction. Find the position when the particle first comes to rest. Here is my train of thought F(x)= -dU/dx...
