Question

A body falls freely under gravity from rest. Name the kind of energy it will possess.
(a) at the point Boni where it falls.
(b) while falling.
(c) on reaching the mound.

Answer 1

$PE\propto h$

$KE\propto v^2$

a)At max point, Potential energy due to height and no kinetic energy because it has no velocity
(b) Both Potential energy and kinetic energy , because it have both height and velocity.
(c) only Kinetic energy enrgy , because height from ground is zero.
