A particle is released from height S from the surface of the Earth....

A particle is released from height SS from the surface of the Earth. At a certain height its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height from the surface of the earth and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively___A particle is released from height S from the surface of the Earth. At a certain height its kinetic energy is three

Options

  1. AS4,3gS2\dfrac{S}{4}, \dfrac{3gS}{2}
  2. BS4,3gS2\dfrac{S}{4}, \dfrac{\sqrt{3gS}}{2}
  3. CS4,3gS2\dfrac{S}{4}, \sqrt{\dfrac{3gS}{2}}
  4. DS2,3gS2\dfrac{S}{2}, \dfrac{\sqrt{3gS}}{2}

Correct answer

C. S4,3gS2\dfrac{S}{4}, \sqrt{\dfrac{3gS}{2}}

Step-by-step solution

A particle is released from height S from the surface of the Earth. At a certain height its kinetic energy is three

∵∵ At Every ptpt.

KE+PE=KE + PE = constant

so,

(KE)A+(PE)A=(KE)B+(PE)B( KE{)}_{A} + ( PE{)}_{A} = ( KE{)}_{B} + ( PE{)}_{B}

0+mgS=3(PE)B+(PE)B0 + mgS = 3 ( PE{)}_{B} + ( PE{)}_{B}

mgS=4mghmgS = 4mgh

h=S4h = \dfrac{S}{4}

Now,

KEKE at pt.B−pt . B -

∵∵ At pt.B−pt . B -

KE=3PEKE = 3PE

12mv2=3mgs4\dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = 3\dfrac{mgs}{4}

v=32gSv = \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}gS}
