Question

A body is falling from a height h. After it has fallen to a height of h/2, it will possess:

(a) Only kinetic energy

(b) Half kinetic and half potential energy

(c) Only potential energy

(d) More kinetic and less potential energy​

Answer 1

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\red{\sf{ Answer:}}}}}$

When a body fall from height h and when it has reached up to a height of h/2 it will process half kinetic energy and potential energy.

$\underline{\tt{\green{\leadsto Mechanical \:Energy}}}$

The energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion for position is called mechanical energy .The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy school total mechanical energy.It is of two types:

• $\tt{Kinetic\:Energy}$
• $\tt{Potential\:Energy}$

$\pink{\tt{\dag Kinetic\: Energy:-}}$

The energy possessed by body due to virtue of its motion is called Kinetic energy. Mathematically kinetic energy is equal to half the product of mass and square of velocity.

$\large\purple{\underline{\boxed{\orange{\tt{\dag Kinetic\: Energy(E_k)=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}}}}}$

$\pink{\tt{\dag Potential\: Energy:-}}$

The energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its position of configuration is called potential energy.

mathematically gravitational potential energy is equal to product of mass and acceleration due to gravity and height above the ground.

$\large\purple{\underline{\boxed{\orange{\tt{\dag Potential\: Energy(E_p)=mgh}}}}}$
