Potential energy curve `U` of a particle as function of the position of a particle is shown. The particle has total mechanical energy `E` of `3.0` joules. Then select correct alternative.

A

It can never be present at `x=0m`

B

It can never be present at `x=5m`

C

At `x=2` its kinetic energy is `0J`

D

At `x=1` its kinetic energy `3J`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Kinetic energy is `(+ve)` and total ME is `3` joule.
So, PE cannot be `6j`
