Two bodies A and B of masses 2 m and m are projected vertically upwards from the ground with velocities \(u\) and 2 u respectively. The ratio of the kinetic energy of body A and the potential energy of body B at a height equal to half of the maximum height reached by body A is

  1. A \(8: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(2: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For body A, \(\mathrm{H}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2}{2 \mathrm{~g}}, \mathrm{~m}_1=2 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{u}_1=\mathrm{u}, \mathrm{H}_1=\frac{\mathrm{H}_{\max }}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2}{4 \mathrm{~g}}\) By principle of energy conservation,…
