Solution

The correct option is B $7.5 k J$
Given, $m = 50 k g, h = 15 m, g = 10 m s^{- 2}$
$∴ U = m g h = 50 \times 15 \times 10 = 7500 J = 7.5 k J$

A stone of mass 64.0 g is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial speed of 20.0 ms^-1. The gravitational potential energy at the ground level is considered to be zero. Applying the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy attained the total energy of the stone at its halfway point can be calculated to be: (g= 10 m s^-2).
