In the given figure, the block of mass m is dropped from the point ' A ' . The expression for kinetic energy of block when it reaches point ' B ' is
Options
- Am g y 0
- B1 2 m g y 0 2
- C1 2 m g y 2
- Dm g y - y 0
Correct answer
A. m g y 0
Step-by-step solution
Here, gain in kinetic energy = loss in potential energy Now loss in potential energy of particle in falling from height y to y 0 is m g y - y 0 . So, Δ K E = K - 0 = - m g y - y 0 - m g y Thus, kinetic energy at point B is K = m g y 0
