ME = PE + KE = 8J
At x? , PE=4J, so KE = 8-4=4J. (A is correct)
At x>x? , PE=6J, so KE=2J, which is constant. (B is correct)
At x8J. This is not possible. Particle cannot reach here. So it is not a correct statement. (C is incorrect)
At x? , PE=0J, so KE=8J, which is maximum. (D is correct)

P = Fv = (ma)v = m (dv/dt)v
P dt = mv dv
∫P dt = ∫mv dv
Pt = ½mv²
v = √ (2Pt/m)
dx/dt = √ (2P/m) t¹/²
x = √ (2P/m) ∫t¹/² dt = √ (2P/m) * (2/3)t³/²
Squaring to match options:
x² = (8P/9m) t³
This does not match. Let's re-examine the options.
Position x is proportional to t³/².
x = (8P/9m)¹/² t³/²

W = ∫Fxdy
W = ∫ (5y + 20)dy from 0 to 10
W = [5y²/2 + 20y] from 0 to 10
W = (5 (10)²/2 + 20 (10) - 0 = 250 + 200 = 450 J

Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of both kinetic and potential energies. Kinetic energy cannot be a negative value since mass is always positive and velocity square leads to a positive value. However, potential energy can be negative depending on the reference point.

Not in all cases. This happens due to the interruption of non conservative forces like friction, air resistance, etc. which are responsible for decreasing the mechanical energy by converting it into other forms of energy such as heat, noise, etc.

Conservation of Mechanical Energy is linked to newton's second law of motion (F = ma) in combination with work energy theorem. The work energy theorem states that total work done on an object equals to change in kinetic energy. This theorem is used to prove that the sum of kinetic energy and potenti

F = − α x 2 ⇒ m v d v d x = − α x 2

⇒ ∫ v 0 0 v d v = − α m ∫ 0 x x 2 d x ⇒ 0 2 2 − v 0 2 2 = − α 3 m x 3

⇒ − v 0 2 2 = − α 3 m x 3 ⇒ x = ( 3 v 0 2 m 2 α ) 1 / 3
