A particle is moving an \(X\)-axis has potential energy \(U=2-20 x+5 x^2 \mathrm{~J}\) along \(X\)-axis. The particle is released at \(x=-3\). The maximum value of \(x\) will be (\(x\) is in metre and \(U\) is in joules)

  1. A \(5 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(3 m\)
  3. C \(7 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(8 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential energy, \(U=2-20 x+5 x^2 J\) When particle gains whole of potential energy in the form of kinetic energy at \(x=-3 \mathrm{~m}\), then it will travel maximum distance till whole of its kinetic energy becomes zero.…
