The potential energy of a $1 \ kg$ particle free to move along the $x-$axis is given by: $U(x) = (\frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2}) \ J$. The total mechanical energy of the particle is $2 \ J$. Then,the maximum speed (in $m/s$) is:

  • A
    $\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $2$

$A$ mass of $2 \ kg$, initially at a height of $1.2 \ m$ above an uncompressed spring with spring constant $2 \times 10^4 \ N/m$, is released from rest to fall on the spring. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as $10 \ m/s^2$ and neglecting air resistance, the compression of the spring in $mm$ is:
