A particle of mass m that moves along the x -axis has potential energy V(x)=a+b x^2 , where a and b are positive constants. Its initial velocity is v₀ at x=0 . It will execute simple harmonic motion. Then
Options
- Athe acceleration of the particle at its extreme position is zero.
- Bat its extreme position the particle will have total energy a+m v₀^2 / 2 .
- Cits time period will be determined by the values of b and m .
- Dthe equilibrium position of the particle is determined by a .
Correct answer
C. its time period will be determined by the values of b and m .
