Total energy of a body at rest at a heig...

Total energy of a body at rest at a height h from a point of reference is 75 J. What is its kinetic energy as it falls through a height h/2 ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the energy transformations that occur as the body falls from a height \( h \) to a height \( \frac{h}{2} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Total Energy at Height \( h \)**: - The total energy \( E \) of the body at height \( h \) is given as 75 J. - Since the body is at rest at this height, its kinetic energy (KE) is 0. Therefore, the total energy is entirely potential energy (PE). - \[ ...
