Show the total energy remain constant in gravitational field.
The total energy = constant
K.E. + P.E. = constant
(Also refer the attachment given)
In the above give fig.
Let
- Mass of the body = m
- Height = h
- Under gravity = g
At position A (at height h above the ground) :
Potential Energy = mgh
Kinetic energy = 0 (as it is above the ground)
∴ Total energy = Potential energy + kinetic energy
⇰ mgh + 0
⇰ mgh ...(i)
At position B (when it has fallen through to a distance x) :
Let:
- initial velocity = u
- distance (S) = x
- a = g
We know that,
Now,
for potential energy at B,
h = h - x
∴ P.E. = mgh
⇰ mg(h-x)
∴ Total energy = P.E. + K.E.
⇰ mg(h-x) + mgx
⇰ mgh - mgx + mgx
⇰ mgh ...(ii)
At position C (on the ground) :
P.E. = 0
Let:
- velocity = v
- initial velocity = u
- distance (S) = h
- a = g
We know that,
⇰ v² = u² + 2aS
⇰ v² = 0 + 2gh
⇰ v² = 2gh
∴ Total energy = P.E. + K.E.
⇰ 0 + mgh
⇰ mgh ...(iii)
Now,
From eq. (i) , (ii) & (iii)..
We can conclude that,
⇰ Sum of Total energy = mgh
⇰ Total energy = constant... (proved)
