Explanation:
mgh=mv²/2
50x9.8xh=50(15/60)²/2
solve this u get h value OK friend

Answer:
Gravitational potential energy is given by the expression,
W = m g h
where,
h = Height above the ground = 10 m
m = Mass of the object = 50 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms-2
W = 50 × 10 × 10 = 5000 J.
At half-way down, the potential energy of the object will be, begin mathsize 12px style 5000 over 2 space equals space 2500 space straight J end style
At this point, the object has an equal amount of potential and kinetic energy. This is due to the law of conservation of energy. Hence, half-way down, the kinetic energy of the object will also be 2500 J.
Hope it helps.....
mark as brainliest if it does....
Thank you
