Can potential energy be greater than total energy?
I'm working on a homework problem which states: "Some object, starting from far down the negative x-axis and moving in the positive x direction, experiences a force, the potential energy U of which is modeled by the function U = 2e^(-x^2), where x is in meters and U is in Joules. The total...- thomasb1215
