The potential energy ‘V’ of a particle m...

The potential energy ‘V’ of a particle moving along the positive x-direction in a conservative force field varies as shown in the figure. The total energy is E=2. Draw the corresponding kinetic energy K vs x graph.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`K = E – V = 2 – V`
`x = 0` to `1, K = 1,`
`x = 1` to `2, K = 2 – (– 1) = 3,`
`x = 2 to 3, K = 2 – 2 = 0`
