Question

An object of mass 90 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is half-way down

Answer 1

g=10m/s.sq

So pe=mgh

Pe=90x2.5x10

Pe=2250joule

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______❤
