The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the speeds of the three objects \( m_1, m_2, \) and \( m_3 \) when they reach the ground after falling from the same height \( h \) along different frictionless paths, we can use the principle of conservation of energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial and Final States**: - The objects are released from rest at a height \( h \). - Initial velocity \( u = 0 \) for all objects. - Final velocity \( v \) will be determined when they reach the ground. 2. **Apply the Conservation of Mechanical Energy**: - The potential energy at the height \( h \) will convert into kinetic energy when the objects reach the ground. - The potential energy (PE) at height \( h \) is given by: \[ \text{PE} = mgh \] - The kinetic energy (KE) when the object reaches the ground is given by: \[ \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] 3. **Set Up the Energy Conservation Equation**: - At the top (height \( h \)), the total energy is purely potential: \[ mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] 4. **Simplify the Equation**: - Since mass \( m \) appears on both sides of the equation, we can cancel it out (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2 \] 5. **Solve for Final Velocity \( v \)**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ v^2 = 2gh \] - Taking the square root of both sides: \[ v = \sqrt{2gh} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The final speed \( v \) of each object when they reach the ground is: \[ v = \sqrt{2gh} \] - This result shows that the final speed is independent of the mass of the objects and depends only on the height \( h \) and the acceleration due to gravity \( g \). 7. **Ratio of Speeds**: - Since all three objects \( m_1, m_2, \) and \( m_3 \) have the same final speed: \[ v_1 : v_2 : v_3 = 1 : 1 : 1 \] ### Final Answer: The speeds of the three objects when they reach the ground will be in the ratio \( 1 : 1 : 1 \). ---
