Question

An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energe Ifthe object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energr when it is half-way down.

Answer 1

Hi , there !!

potential energy = mgh

=> 40 kg × 5m × 10 { g = 10 }

2000 jule




Kinetic energy during half way

1/ 2 × 2 m v²



=> 1 / 4 × 40 × 5 × 5

=> 250 jule .


hope it helps you !!!

thanks !!

Answer 2

_/\_Hello mate__here is your answer--

_______________________

Given:-

m = 40 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 5 m

We know that,

potential energy = mgh

= 40 × 9.8 × 5 J

= 1960 J

_______________________

♦♦The total mechanical energy (Kinetic and potential energy) of an object remains constant. (law of conservation of energy)

Therefore, when the object is half-way down, its potential energy become half the original energy and remaining half converted into kinetic energy.

Hence, the kinetic energy = ½ (1960) J = 980 J

I hope, this will help you.☺

Thank you______❤
