how to calculate the nuclear potential energy of an object in matlab

To calculate the nuclear potential energy of an object in MATLAB, we first need to define the parameters of the object and the potential function we are using.

Let's assume we have an object with mass m and charge q, and we want to calculate the potential energy it experiences in a field defined by a potential function V(r), where r is the distance from the object to the center of the field.

Here's an example of how to code this calculation in MATLAB:

main.m
% Define parameters of object
m = 1.67e-27; % mass of object in kg
q = 1.6e-19; % charge of object in C

% Define potential function
% This is just an example, you would need to define your own potential function
V = @(r) -q^2/(4*pi*8.85e-12*r);

% Define distance from object to center of field
r = 1e-10; % distance in meters

% Calculate nuclear potential energy
U = m*V(r);

In this example, we first define the mass and charge of the object. We then define the potential function using an anonymous function, which takes distance r as the input and outputs the potential value at that distance.

Next, we define the distance r from the object to the center of the field. Finally, we calculate the nuclear potential energy U by multiplying the object's mass m by the potential value at distance r.

Note that this is just an example and you would need to define your own potential function depending on the specifics of your problem.
