A force given by: F = -2(x – 1)^2acts on a particle at rest. Select the correct option regarding the same.(a) Force acts on particle along the positive x direction(b) Force is never zero(c) Motion is periodic but not oscillatory(d) Motion is rectilinear
Right choice is (d) Motion is rectilinearFor explanation: Force always acts in the negative direction, so motion is not periodic. Motion is rectilinear since the particle will always travel in a straight line. Force is zero at x=1.
