In the given figure, the block of mass m is dropped from the point 'A'. The expression for kinetic energy of block when it reaches point 'B' is

  1. mgy0
  2. 12mgy02
  3. 12mgy2
  4. mgy-y0

Solution

Here, gain in kinetic energy=loss in potential energy

Now loss in potential energy of particle in falling from height y to y0 is mgy-y0.

So, ΔKE=K-0=-mgy-y0-mgy

Thus, kinetic energy at point B is K=mgy0
