Question

A particle (m=1 kg)slides down a frictionless track (AOC)starting from rest at a point A (height 2 m).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 m/s2

Open in App
Solution

As the track AOC is frictionless and the force field is gravitational is conservative so the energy along the whole motion will be conserved.Taking ground as datum where PE=0

(PE+KE)A=(PE+KE)p

mgha+0=mghp+KEp

(asv=0 at A so KEA)

KEp=mg(hAhp)

=1×10(21)

=1×10×1

KEp=10 J

Final Answer: 10
