MCQ
For a particle showing motion under the force $F=-5(x-2)^2$, the motion is .......
- ATranslatory
- ✓Oscillatory
- C$S.H.M.$
- DAll of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Oscillatory
b
(a)
(a)
$F=-5(x-2)^2$
The motion depicts a non uniform translatory motion as the acceleration just keeps increasing in the negative direction. This is because $(x-2)$ is always positive.
