$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a horizontal circle of radius $r$ under a centripetal force equal to $-K/r^2$,where $K$ is a constant. The total energy of the particle is

  • A
    $K/(2r)$
  • B
    $-K/(2r)$
  • C
    $-K/r$
  • D

State if each of the following statements is true or false. Give reasons for your answer.
$(a)$ In an elastic collision of two bodies,the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.
$(b)$ Total energy of a system is always conserved,no matter what internal and external forces on the body are present.
$(c)$ Work done in the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero for every force in nature.
$(d)$ In an inelastic collision,the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system.

Assertion $(A)$: When we bounce a ball on the ground, it comes to rest after a few bounces, losing all its energy. This is an example of violation of conservation of energy.
Reason $(R)$: Energy can change from one form to another but the total energy is always conserved.
Which of the following is true?

The rate of doing work by a force acting on a particle moving along the $x$-axis depends on the position $x$ of the particle and is equal to $2x$. The velocity of the particle is given by the expression:
