Question

The potential energy of a particle of mass 0.1kg, moving along x-axis, is given by U = 5x(x-4)J where x is in metres. It can be concluded that

  1. the particle is acted upon by a constant force.    
  2. the speed of the particle is maximum at x = 2 m    
  3. the particle executes simple harmonic motion    
  4. the period of oscillation of the particle is pi /5 s.    

The correct answer is: the speed of the particle is maximum at x = 2 m
