The figure below shows a graph of potential energy U(x) verses position x for a particle executing one dimensional motion along the x axis. The total mechanical energy of the system is indicated by the dashed line. At t=0 the particle is somewhere between points A and G. For later times choose the correct statement:-

A

The magnitude of force is maximum at `D`

B

The kinetic energy is maximum at `B`

C

The velocity is zero at `A` & `G`

D

The magnitude of force is minimum at `F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
