The change in mechanical energy caused by the dissipative resistance force is equal to, difference between the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object.
Potential energy of the object, P.E = mgh
m is mass of the object = 10 kg
g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h= height from which it is dropped =50 m
Substituting the value we get,
P.E = 10×9.8×50 = 4900 J
Kinetic energy of the object, K.E =
v is the velocity of the object = 26 m/s²
K.E = (1/2)×10×(26)²
= 3380 J
Change in mechanical energy caused by dissipative force = P.E ₋ K.E
= 4900 ₋ 3380 = 1520 J
