The potential energy of a body of mass 2 kg free to move along x-axis is given by U(x)=(x44x22)  joule. Total mechanical energy of the particle is 2 joule. Then the maximum speed of the body is

a
1.5ms−1
b
2.25ms−1
c
2ms−1
d
32ms−1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

F=−dUdx=−(x3−x) At equilibrium position, F=0⇒x=±1 ∴Umin=(14−12)=−14J TE=Umin+KEmax KEmax=2.25 12mVmax2=2.25⇒Vmax=1.5ms−1 .
