An object 1 of mass m1 is separated by some distance d from an object 2 of mass 2m1 . An object 3 of mass m3 is to be placed between them. If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

If the potential energy of the three-object system is to be a maximum (closest to zero), should object 3 be placed closer to object 1, closer to object 2, or halfway between them?

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 1.

Object 3 should be placed on a halfway between object 2 and object 1.

Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

Solution

I think that Object 3 should be placed closer to object 2.

e) none of the above answers are correct

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
