Question

A particle (m = 1 kg) slides down a frictionless track (AOC) starting from rest at a point A(height 2m). After reaching C, the particle continues to move freely in air as a projectile. When it reaching its highest point P(height 1m), the kinetic energy of the particle (in J) is : (Figure drawn is schematic and not to scale; take g = 10 ms–2) …… .

Solution

KE = PE1 – PE2 = mgh1 – mgh2

= 1 × 10 × 2 – 1 × 10 × 1 = 10J
