A point particle of mass 0.5 kg is moving along the x-axis under a force described by the potential energy V shown below. It is projected towards the right from the origin with a speed v. What is the minimum value of v for which the particle will escape infinitely fasr away from the origin ?

A

`2sqrt(2) ms^(-1)`

B

`2 ms^(-1)`

C

`4 ms^(-1)`

D

The particle will never escape

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(1)/(2) mv^(2) + 0 = 0 +1`
`v^(2) = 4 or v =2 m//s`

A particle of mass 1.5 kg moves along x-axis in a conservative force field. Its potential energy is given by V(x)=2x^(3)-9x^(2)+12x, where all quantities are written in SI units. The plot of this potential energy is given below. It is seen that the particle can be in stable equilibrium at a point on x-axis, x_(0). When it is displaced slightly from this equilibrium position, It executes SHM with time period T. What is the value of x_(0) ?
