A body of mass 2kg is projected vertically upwards with a speed of `3m//s`. The maximum gravitational potential energy of the body is :

A

18 J

B

4.5 J

C

9 J

D

2.25 J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) Gravitational potential energy (maximum) = kinetic energy `=(1)/(2)m upsilon^2 = (1)/(2) (2) (3)^2 =9J`
