A tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface. It bounces back to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy $K$ with time $t$ most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to the scale.

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by $V(x)=$ $k x^{2} / 2,$ where $k$ is the force constant of the oscillator. For $k=0.5\; N m ^{-1}$ the graph of $V(x)$ versus $x$ is shown in Figure. Show that a particle of total energy $1 \;J$ moving under this potential must 'turn back" when it reaches $x=\pm 2 m$
