Two point masses, each of mass M are fixed at point A and B respectively. A third point m isreleased from infinity, so that it can move along y-axis under the influence of mutual gravitational attraction on it due to point masses kept at A and B respectively as shown in the figure (i). Figure (ii) represents the potential energy of system (includes m, M at A and M at B) with position of m at y-axis. (Neglect any forces other than gravity on particle C). (Given :Gm2d=12 joule, m=6kg) Given AC=d.Choose the correct option :

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

point mass m will perform periodic motion

value of $U_{1}$ must be equal to –24 joule if gravitational potential energy of two point mass system
is taken to be zero when separation between them is infinite.

maximum speed of particle is 24 m/s

maximum speed of particle is 4 m/s.

answer is A, C.
