Potential energy (U) related to coordinates is given by U = 3(x + y). Work done by the conservative force when the particle is going from (0, 0), (2, 3) is:
1.  15 J
2.  -15 J
3.  12 J
4.  10 J

The potential energy of a body is given by, U = A – Bx² (Where x is the displacement). The magnitude of force acting on the particle is 

(1) Constant

(2) Proportional to x

(3) Proportional to x²

(4) Inversely proportional to x

The potential energy between two atoms in a molecule is given by $$\(U\left ( x \right )=\frac{a}{x^{12}}-\frac{b}{x^{6}};\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants and \(x\) is the distance between the atoms. The atoms are in stable equilibrium when:
1. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{11a}{5b}}\)
2. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{a}{2b}}\)
3. \(x=0\)
4. \(x=\sqrt[6]{\frac{2a}{b}}\)

A particle free to move along the x-axis has potential energy given by $U\left(x\right)=k[1-e^{-x^2}]$ for $-\infty \le x\le +\infty$, where k is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. Then 

(1) At point away from the origin, the particle is in unstable equilibrium

(2) For any finite non-zero value of x, there is a force directed away from the origin

(3) If its total mechanical energy is k/2, it has its minimum kinetic energy at the origin

(4) For small displacements from x = 0, the motion is simple harmonic

A particle which is constrained to move along the x-axis, is subjected to a force in the same direction which varies with the distance x of the particle from the origin as $F\left(x\right)=-kx+a{x}^3$. Here k and a are positive constants. For $x\ge 0$, the functional form of the potential energy U(x) of the particle is-
