AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Work Power Energy

A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of \(20 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\). If the potential energy of the body at a height of 5 m from the ground is 100 J, then the kinetic energy of the body at a height of 10 m from the ground is
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) )

  1. A 200 J
  2. B 300 J
  3. C 150 J
  4. D 250 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 200 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m = \frac{\mathrm{PE}}{gh} = \frac{100 \mathrm{~J}}{10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2} \times 5 \mathrm{~m}} = 2 \mathrm{~kg}\) \(\mathrm{E_{total}} = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 + mgh_{initial} = \frac{1}{2}(2 \mathrm{~kg})(20 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1})^2 + 0 = 400 \mathrm{~J}\)…
