5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
A body of mass $1\, kg$ is thrown upwards with a velocity $20\, m/s$. It momentarily comes to rest after attaining a height of $18\, m$. How much energy is lost due to air friction ............. $\mathrm{J}$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
A
$30$
B
$40$
C
$10$
D
$20$
Solution
$\mathrm{KF}_{\text {initial}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mu}^{2}=200 \mathrm{J}$
$(\mathrm{mgh})_{\max }=200 \mathrm{J}$
$\mathrm{h}=20 \mathrm{m}$
The height travelled by the body ( $\left.h^{\prime}\right)=18 \mathrm{m}$
loss of energy $=\mathrm{mgh}-\mathrm{mgh}^{\prime}=20 \mathrm{J}$
