A body is released from a height of 30 m vertically downwards. The speed of the body at which potential energy is twice that of kinetic energy is (Acceleration due to gravity =10 m s-2)

  1. A 202 m s-1
  2. B 102 m s-1
  3. C 10 m s-1
  4. D 20 m s-1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 102 m s-1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Suppose at velocity v,potential energy of body is twice that of kinetic energy. Using energy conservation- mgH=KEf+PEf  …1 Since PEf=2×KEf Put this value in equation 1- mgH=3×KEf ⇒  mgH=3×12mv2 ⇒  v=23gH…
