When a particle of mass m moves on the x-axis in a potential of the form V(x) = kx2, it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to √(m/k), as can be seen easily-using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of x = 0 in a way different from kx2 and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider, a particle of mass m moving on the x-axis. Its potential energy is V(x) = ax4 (α > 0) for |x| near the origin and becomes a constant equal to V0 for |x| ≥ X0 (see figure).The acceleration of this particle for |x| > X0 is(a) proportional to V0(b) proportional to V0 / mX0(c) proportional to √(V0 / mX0)(d) zero |
