Question

If a body of mass 200 g falls from a height 200 m and its total P.E. is converted into K.E. at the point of contact of the body with earth surface, then what is the decrease in P.E. (in J) of the body at the contact  (g=10m/s2)

Moderate
Solution

ΔU=mgh=0.2×10×200=400J

Gain in K.E. = decrease in P.E. = 400 J.
