  • question_answer
    A ball dropped from a height of 2m reaches to a height of 1.5m before hitting the ground. Then the percentage of potential energy lost is

    A) 25

    B) 30   

    C) 50

    D) 100

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{\operatorname{U}}_{1}}=mg{{h}_{1}}\,and\,{{U}_{2}}=mg{{h}_{2}}\] \[% energy lost = \frac{{{U}_{1}}-{{U}_{2}}}{{{U}_{1}}}\times  100\] \[=\frac{mg{{h}_{1}}-mg{{h}_{2}}}{mg{{h}_{1}}}\times 100=\left( \frac{{{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}}}{{{h}_{1}}} \right)\times 100\] \[=\frac{2-1.5}{2}\times 100=25%\]
