The figure shows the variation of potential energy of a particle as a funcation pf x, the x-coordination of the region. It has been assumed that potential energy depends only on `x`. For all other values `x, U` is zero. i.e. for` x lt - 10` and `x gt 15, U = 0`.

If total mechanical energy of the particle is `-40J`, then it can be found in region.

A

`xlt10` and `xgt15`

B

`-10ltxlt5` and `6ltxlt15`

C

`10ltxlt15`

D

It is not possible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`U=E-K=-40-K`
Since
`Kge0`
`:. U le -40J`.
