Question 15 Marks
A body of $2kg$ falls from rest. What will be its kinetic energy during the fall at the end of $2s? ($Assume $g = 10m/s^2)$
Answer
View full question & answer→Mass of body $= 2kg$
Initial velocity $u = 0$
Time taken $= 2s$
Acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10m/s^2$ Final velocity $v$ Using first equation of motion $v = u + gt = 0 + 10 × 2 = 20m/s$ $\text{KE}=\frac{1}{2}\text{m}\times\text{v}^2$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times20^2=400\text{J}$
