15: 2-Work and Energy
- #10An object of mass 40 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.Ans : Potential energy
= 2000 J
When the object is half way down the height of the object is = 2.5 m
initial velocity (u) = 0 (thrown from ground/rest)
since

= 50
Kinetic energy
= 1000 J
