Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
From V2 = U2 + 2as
O = U 2 - 2gH, since at maximum height H, the final velocity, v = O.
∴ H = (U)2/2g
PE = KE at (1)/2 H = (U)2/2g x (1)/2 = U2 4g
From V2 = U2 + 2as
O = U 2 - 2gH, since at maximum height H, the final velocity, v = O.
∴ H = (U)2/2g
PE = KE at (1)/2 H = (U)2/2g x (1)/2 = U2 4g
