Q.

When a body is projected vertically up, at a point ‘P’ in its path, the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy is 2:3. If the same body is projected up with double the previous velocity, the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy of the body, at the same point ‘P’ is

Detailed Solution

If PE = 2x and KE = 3x, then total energy is 5x

When the velocity is double, kinetic energy or total energy becomes 4 times i.e. 20x

Potential energy remains 2x ,so kinetic energy becomes 20x - 2x = 18x

So the ratio of potential to kinetic energy becomes 1 : 9.
