A particle slides down along an inclined plane \(A C\). If the plane is frictionless, kinetic energy of particle at \(C\) is

  1. A \(m g y\)
  2. B \(m g x\)
  3. C \(m g\left(\frac{y}{\sin \theta}\right)\)
  4. D \(m g\left(\frac{y}{\cos \theta}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(m g y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the mass of the particle be \(m\). If the particle slides from height \(y\) under the action of gravity, the velocity acquired by the particle is given by, \(v=\sqrt{2 g y}\) Hence, kinetic energy, \(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)…
