5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium
A particle is dropped from a height $h$. A constant horizontal velocity is given to the particle. Taking $g$ to be constant every where, kinetic energy $E$ of the particle w. r. t. time t is correctly shown in
A

B

C

D

Solution
(a)As particle is projected with some velocity therefore its initial kinetic energy will not be zero.
As it moves downward under gravity then its velocity increases with time $K.E. \propto v^2 \propto t2 \,(As\, v \propto t)$
So the graph between kinetic energy and time will be parabolic in nature.
