(A) at x>x4,U= constant =6J
K=Emech.−U=2J=constant
(B) at x<x1,U= constant =8J
K=Emech.−U=8−8=0J
Particle is at rest.
(C) At x=x2,U=0⇒Emech.=K=8J
KE is greatest, and particle is moving at fastest speed.
(D) At x=x3,U=4J
U+K=8J
K=4J
Given below is the plot of a potential energy function U(x) for a system, in which a particle is in one dimensional motion, while a conservative force F(x) acts on it. Suppose that Emech =8J, the incorrect statement for this system is :

Held on 27 Jul 2021 · Verified 6 Jul 2026.
at x>x4,K.E. is constant throughout the region.
at x<x1,K.E. is smallest and the particle is moving at the slowest speed.
at x=x2,K.E. is greatest and the particle is moving at the fastest speed.
at x=x3,K.E.=4J

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2}$ N/m. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from $1$ cm to $2$ cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
