If the potential energy of the particle ...

If the potential energy of the particle is `alpha-(beta)/(2)x^(2)`, then force experienced by the particle is:

A

`F=(beta)/(2)x^(2)`

B

`F=betax`

C

`F=-betax`

D

`F=-(beta)/(2)x^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`F=(dw)/(dx)`
`=(d)/(dx)(alpha-(beta)/(2)x^(2))`
`=(-beta(2x))/(2)=-betax`
