A particle of mass $m$ is released from rest and follows a parabolic path as shown. Assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time? Figure

  • A

  • Correct answer
    D
    Figure

Solution

Potential $V(x)$ versus $x$ is parabolic, SHM starts from extreme position and $x$ versus $t$ should be cosin curve so option (4) is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
