A spherical ball of mass 20 kg is stationary at the top of a hill of height 100 m. It rolls down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height 30 m and finally rolls down to a horizontal base at a height of 20 m above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Using conservation of energy,
\mathrm{m}(10 \times 100)=\mathrm{m} \left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{v}^2+10 \times20\right) or v=\sqrt{1600}=40
