The potential energy of a particle of mass $1 \ kg$ moving freely along the $x$-axis is given by $V(x) = (\frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2}) \ J$. If the total mechanical energy of the particle is $2 \ J$,what is its maximum speed in $m/s$?

$A$ particle has a total mechanical energy that is small and negative. It is under the influence of a one-dimensional potential $U(x) = \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2} \, J$,where $x$ is in meters. At time $t = 0 \, s$,it is at $x = -0.5 \, m$. Then,at a later time,it can be found:

$A$ particle is constrained to move along the $x$-axis. $A$ force is applied to it in the same direction,which varies with the distance $x$ from the origin as $F(x) = -kx + ax^3$,where $k$ and $a$ are positive constants. What will be the graph of the potential energy $U(x)$ of the particle for $x \ge 0$?
