PhysicsMediumsingle choice

Potential energy vs position graph of a particle in a particular system is given and here P.E. is . There is a non conservative force also acting on a particle in such a manner that mechanical energy loss due to its work is equal to four times the distance travelled. Initially particle is at , has kinetic energy 36 J and moving towards origin. When it reaches origin second time then kinetic energy of particle is :-

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

From the graph U(10) = 100 J, so and . Energy loss = 4 x distance.

First pass to origin: KE = 136 - 40 = 96 J. It continues to where it stops:

Reaching origin the second time the total path is 10 + 8 + 8 = 26 m:

Ans. (C)
