A \(0.4\,kg\) mass takes \(8 s\) to reach ground when dropped from a certain height ' \(P\) ' above surface of earth. The loss of potential energy in the last second of fall is \(..............J\). [Take \(g =10\,m / s ^2\) ]

  1. A \(300\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(150\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(300\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Displacement is \(8^{\text {th }} sec\). \(S _8=0+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(2 \times 8-1)\) \(S _8=5 \times 15\) \(\Delta U =0.4 \times 10 \times 5 \times 15\) \(\Delta U =20 \times 15=300\)
