  • A
    $U(x) = E$
  • B
    $U(x) = 0$
  • C
    $\frac{dU(x)}{dx} = 0$
  • D
    $\frac{d^2U(x)}{dx^2} = 0$

The potential energy of a particle in a central field has the form $U(r) = \frac{1}{r^2} - \frac{1}{r}$, where '$r$' is the distance from the centre of the field. The magnitude of the maximum attractive force in Newton is

If a body has a potential energy of $(4x^2 + 2x) \,J$ at a position $x = 2 \,m$, then the force acting on the body is: (in $\,N$)

$A$ particle has a total mechanical energy that is small and negative. It is under the influence of a one-dimensional potential $U(x) = \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2} \, J$,where $x$ is in meters. At time $t = 0 \, s$,it is at $x = -0.5 \, m$. Then,at a later time,it can be found:
