A) \[3/\sqrt{2}\]
B) \[\sqrt{2}\]
C) \[1/\sqrt{2}\]
D) 2
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The variation of potential energy is given as \[V(x)=\left( \frac{{{x}^{4}}}{4}-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2} \right)\] ??..(i) For minimum value of V, \[\frac{dv}{dx}=0\] On differentiating Eq. (i), we get \[\frac{4{{x}^{3}}}{4}-\frac{2x}{2}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=0,\,x=\pm 1\] So, \[{{V}_{\min }}(x=\pm 1)=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-1}{4}J\] \[\therefore \]\[{{K}_{\max }}+{{V}_{\min }}=\]Total mechanical energy (from energy conservation) \[{{K}_{\max }}=(1/4)+2\Rightarrow {{K}_{\max }}=9/4\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{2}=\frac{9}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[v=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}m/s\] \[(\because m=1\,kg)\]You need to login to perform this action.
