    A child is swinging a swing. Minimum and maximum heights of swing from earth’s surface are 0.75 m and 2 m respectively. The maximum velocity of this swing is:                       [AIPMT 2001]

    A) 5 m/s

    B) 10 m/s

    C) 15 m/s

    D) 20 m/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Maximum kinetic energy of swing should be equal to difference in potential energies to conserve energy. From energy conservation
                            \[\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}=mg({{H}_{2}}-{{H}_{1}})\]
                Here, \[{{H}_{1}}=\] minimum height of swing from earth's surface = 0.75 m
                \[{{H}_{2}}=\] maximum height of swing from earth's surface = 2 m
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}=mg\,(2-0.75)\]
    or         \[{{v}_{\max }}=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 1.25}\]
                            \[=\sqrt{25}=5\,m/s\]
