Question

M= 1000 g g= 10 m/s2 h= 10 K.E at GROUND = 400 j M.E = ....... ........J the answer is 400 so plz explain how

Answer 1

Answer:

M = 500 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, M = 1000 g = 1 kg

Height, h = 10 m

Potential energy is given by :

P = mgh

P = 1×10×10

P = 100 J

The kinetic energy at ground = 400 J

Mechanical energy = sum of kinetic and potential energy

So,

M = 100 + 400

M = 500 J

So, the mechanical energy of the system is 500 J.
