MCQ
A ball of mass 100 g is projected with velocity $20 m / s$ at $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal. The decrease in kinetic energy of the ball during the motion from point of projection to highest point is :
  • A
    20 J
  • 15 J
  • C
    zero
  • D
    5 J

Answer

Correct option: B.
15 J
(B) 15 J
Sol.

$\begin{array}{l} k _{ i }=\frac{1}{2} mv^2 \\ k _{ f }=\frac{1}{2} m\left( v \cos 60^{\circ}\right)^2=\frac{1}{8} mv ^2 \\ \Delta k = k _{ i }- k _{ f }=\frac{3}{8} mv ^2=\frac{3}{8} \times 0.1 \times 400=15 J\end{array}$
