The variation of potential energy of a particle of mass m = 5kg to its x-coordinate . The particle moves under the effect of this conservative force only along the x-axis. Then, choose the correct option.

A

If the particle is released at the origin, then it will move towards x-axis.

B

At x=10 particle is in unstable equilibrium

C

If the particle is released at `x=5+Delta x`, where `Delta x rarr 0 ( Delta x gt 0)` then its maximum speed is `sqrt(10 ) m//`sec.

D

At x= 15m, the particle is in stable equilibrium.
