Question on: JAMB Physics - 2008
If a body mass 5kg is thrown vertically upwards with velocity u,at what height will the potential energy equal to the kinetic energy?
A
h =(u)2/g
B
h = (u)2/4g
C
h = (2u)2/g
D
h = (u)2/2g
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
From V2 = U2 + 2as
O = U 2 - 2gH, since at maximum height H, the final velocity, v = O.
∴ H = (U)2/2g
PE = KE at (1)/2 H = (U)2/2g x (1)/2 = U2 4g
