Given below is the plot of a potential energy function $U(x)$ for a system,in which a particle is in one-dimensional motion,while a conservative force $F(x)$ acts on it. Suppose that $E_{\text{mech}} = 8 \, J$,the incorrect statement for this system is:

  • A
    at $x = x_{3}$,$K.E. = 10 \, J$
  • B
    at $x = x_{2}$,$K.E.$ is greatest and the particle is moving at the fastest speed.
  • C
    at $x < x_{1}$,$K.E.$ is smallest and the particle is moving at the slowest speed.
  • D
    at $x > x_{4}$,$K.E.$ is constant throughout the region.
