A particle is released from a height H. At a certain height its kinetic energy is half of its potential energy with reference to the surface of the earth. Height and speed of the particle at that instant are respectively
  1. H3, 2gH3
  2. H3,2gH3
  3. 2H3,2gH
  4. 2H3,2gH3

Solution

Given, P.E.=2K.E.

now conservation of kinetic energy and potential energy,

P.E.+K.E.=mgHP.E.+12P.E.=mgH32P.E.=mgHP.E.=2mgH3=mghh=2H3

here the kinetic energy,

2K.E.+K.E.=mgH=3K.E.=312mv2v=2gH3
