Consider a one-dimensional motion of a particle with total energy E. There are four regions A, B, C and D is which the relation between potential energy U, kinetic energy (K) and total energy E is as given below RegionA:`UgtE` Region B:`UltE` Region C:`KltE` Region D:`UgtE` State with reason in each case whether a particle can be found in the given region or not.

Answer» We know that Total ME=KE+PE
`Rightarrow E_(0)=KE+V(x)` ltbRgt `Rightarrow KE=E_(0)-V(x)`
at `A_(1) x=0,V(x)=E_(0)`
`Rightarrow KE=E_(0)-E_(0)=0`
at `B_(1) V(x) gt E_(0)`
`Rightarrow KE gt0`
at C and `D_(1) V(x)=0`
This is possible because total energy can be greater than PE(V).
For region C Given, `K gt E Rightarrow K -E gt 0`
From Eq. (i) PE=V=E-Klt0
Which is possible, because PE can be negative
For region D Given,` V gt K`
This is possible because for a system PE(V) may be greater than KE(K)
