A) 50 m
B) 25 m
C) 12.5 m
D) 10 m
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Given, total energy \[(T.E.)=490\,\,J\] Mass of the body \[(m)=2\,\,kg\] Acceleration due to gravity \[(g)=9.8\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[h=?\] Given that certain height K.E becomes half of the total energy i.e. \[\frac{490}{2}=245J\] We know that, Total energy (TE) = kinetic energy (K.E) + potential energy (P.E) \[\Rightarrow 490=245+P.E.\] \[\Rightarrow P.E.=490-245=245\,J\] We also now that\[P.E.=mgh\] Now we have to find ?h? ? Applying the the above values in equation (1) we get, \[\Rightarrow 245=2\times 9.8\times h\] \[\Rightarrow h=\frac{245}{2\times 9.8}=12.5m\]You need to login to perform this action.
