An object slides along a curved track of negligible friction, as shown in the figure. The potential energy U of the object as a
function of the position x is shown in the graph. The object starts at rest at x=0. Which of the following is a correct claim about the motion of the object?
(Would prefer an explanation, but it's not necessary)
A) The kinetic energy of the object is approximately the same at x=2m and x=5m.
B) At x=2m, the object has more potential energy than kinetic energy.
C) The object comes to rest when x=5.5m.
D) The rate of change of the potential energy is a minimum at x=0m.
E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Answer:
Explanation:
Velocity of the ship is given as
the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current
so we will have two components of the velocity
1) along the direction of the current
2) perpendicular to the direction of the current
so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as
