Question

The kinetic energy possessed by a body with mass $m$ and moving with a velocity $v$ at a height $h$ is given by

• A. $mgh$
• B. $m{v}^2$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}mgh$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

$Kineticenergy=\frac{1}{2}\times Mass\times Velocit{y}^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$
