A particle with total energy E moves in ...

A particle with total energy `E` moves in one direction in a region where, the potential energy is `U` The acceleration of the particle is zero, where,

A

`U=E`

B

`U=0`

C

`(dU)/(dx)=0`

D

`(d^(2)U)/(dx^(2))=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For acceleration `=0`so `F_(n et)=0`
`rArr(dU)/(dx)=0`
