The potential energy of a particle of mass at a distance from a fixed point is given by where is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. This particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius about the point . If is the speed of the particle and is the magnitude of its angular momentum about which of the following statements is (are) true?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B, C
-
Given potential energy
The force is obtained from:
So,
hence,
This is an attractive central force of magnitude
-
Condition for circular motion
For a circular orbit of radius , the required centripetal force is
This must be provided by the central force at :
Therefore,
So option B is correct and option A is incorrect.
-
Angular momentum
For circular motion, velocity is perpendicular to radius vector, so
Substitute :
So option C is correct and option D is incorrect.
-
Final evaluation of options
- A: False
- B: True
- C: True
- D: False
Therefore, the correct options are:
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B, C
Derived answer: B, C
They match exactly.
