Mechanics$\Rightarrow$}Chain Rule

Recall that $a=\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{dv}{dx}\frac{dx}{dt}=v\frac{dv}{dx}$. $\frac{dv}{dx}=-n\beta x^{-n-1}\Rightarrow v\frac{dv}{dx}=-n\beta^2 x^{-2n-1}$, as in choice (A).

Before the energy conversion is a hectic task to me but when i have seen here this simple tutorial on how to solve i was surprised. As i have been looking for a help and thinking is assignmenthelps.com.au legit good to help me out in this problem solving. Mean while got yours.

You can also do this through energy conservation.

$\frac{1}{2} m v(x)^2 + U(x) = E_0$

$\Rightarrow U(x) = E_0 - \frac{1}{2} m \beta^2 x^{-2n}$

and

$-\frac{\partial U(x)}{\partial x} = F = m a$

So

$a = 1/2 \beta^2 \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left( x^{-2n} \right)$

$a = -n \beta^2 x^{-2n-1}$

You can also do it through dimensional analysis.
