Under the action of a force `F=-kx^(3)` , the motion of a particle is (k=a positive constant)A. simple harmonic motionB. uniformly acceleration motionC. not periodicD. periodic but not simple harmonic

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(d) At x=0 , F=0 . For `x gt 0` , force is in negagtive direction and for `x lt 0` , force is in positive x-direction . Therefore, motion of the particle is periodic about mean position x=0
