A conservative force has the potential energy function as shown by the graph. A particle moving in one dimension under the influence of this force has kinetic energy 1.0J when it is at position . Which of the following is/are correct statement(s) about the motion of the particle?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, D
Solution:

At , U = -2 J and K = 1 J, so E = -1 J.

E < 0 keeps the particle trapped in the well between the turning points where U = -1 J: it oscillates (A) and can never reach or where U = 0 - (D).
