Mass of shot-put, m=5 kg
initial height =1.5 m
Potential energy at initial height =mgh
=5×10×1.5=75 J
Speed at initial height, v=10 m/s
Kinetic energy at this height =12mv2 =12×5×102=250 J
Mechanical energy at height = KE + PE =250+75=325 J
According to energy conservation, total energy of a body remains constant.
Hence, at maximum height mechanical energy will be same and is equal to 325 J.
Now, potential energy at maximum height (H)
PE =mgH=5×10×5=250 J
Kinetic energy at maximum height = Total energy - Potential energy
⇒ KE=325−250=75 J
Hence, at maximum height:
Total energy =325 J
Kinetic energy =75 J
Potential energy =250 J
