Answer:
The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.
Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy
Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall
=
Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy
+
=
+
(a)
When banana is at height h, it has
= 0 and
= mgh
and when it reaches the river, it has
= 1/2m
and
= 0
Putting the values in equation (a)
0 + mgh = 1/2m + 0
mgh = 1/2m
<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>
<em> </em>gh = 1/2
v =
Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is
v =
