The potential energy of1 kgparticle free to move along the X-axis is given byU=x44-x22 J. The total mechanical energy of the particle is2 J. Maximum speed of the particle is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

U=x44-x22(given)

For maxima or minima of PE =dUdx=(x3-x)

xx2-1=0x=0or±1

d2Udx2=3x2-1

atx=±1

d2Udx=+ve  i.e.,  at  x=±1,

P.E. is minimum

U=-14

E=Kmax+Vmin2=Kmax-14

12mvmax2=94

m=1 kg(given)vmax=32m s-1
