    An 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
