An arrow is released vertically upwards attains the maximum height of 5m from the level it is released. If the mass of the arrow is 500 grams, work done by the bow on arrow is greater than which of the following? (Assume, g = 10 m/s2)
20J
25J
Given, mass m= 500 g
Height h = 5 m
When the body reaches the maximum height above the ground, it will have the maximum gravitational potential energy.
The work done by the bow on arrow is equal to the maximum gravitational potential energy stored in it, which is equal to "m × g × h"
m×g×h=5001000×10×5=25 J
