To solve the problem, we will use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, which states that the total mechanical energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) in a system remains constant if only conservative forces (like gravity) are acting on it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data:** - Mass of the particle, \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - Initial gravitational potential at point A, \( V_A = 5 \, \text{J/kg} \) - Speed at point B, \( v_B = 1 \, \text{m/s} \) ...
