Conservation of mechanical energy

Question

A body of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 2msec1. The K.E. of the body just before striking the ground is (in J)

Moderate
Solution

If particle is projected vertically upward with velocity of 2m/s then it returns with the same velocity. 

So its kinetic energy =12mv2=12×2×(2)2=4J
