Question
If a particle of mass m  is moving in a horizontal circle of radius r  with a centripetal force (-kr2) , the total energy is 
Options:
A .  - k2r
B .  - kr
C .  - 2kr
D .  - 4kr
Answer: Option A
:
A
mv2r = kr2 m v2 = kr K.E = 12mv2 = k2r
P.E = F dr = kr2dr = - kr
Total energy = K.E + P.E = k2r - kr =- k2r
