A machine with efficiency \(2 / 3\) used 12 J of energy in lifting 2 kg block through certain height and it is allowed to fall through the same. The velocity while it reach the ground is

  1. A \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential energy of the machine, \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{U}=\frac{2}{3} \times 12=8 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{mgh}=8 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~h}=\frac{8}{2 \times 10}=0.4 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\) By conservation of energy, Loss in PE = Gain in K.E…
