A body of mass 10 kg is kept at a height of 5 m. It is allowed to fall and reach the ground.
What is the total mechanical energy possessed by the body at the height of 2 m assuming it is a frictionless medium ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the total mechanical energy of the body at a height of 2 meters. The total mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) of the body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Mass of the body (m) = 10 kg - Height (h) = 5 m (initial height) - Height at which we need to find the energy (h') = 2 m ...
