A body of mass 1 kg is thrown upwards with a velocity 20 m/s. It momentarily comes to rest after attaining a height of 18 m. How much energy is lost due to air friction? (g = 10 m/s2)
- A30 J
- B40 J
- C10 J
- D20 J
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Initial velocity u = 20 m/s; m = 1 kg
Kinetic energy = maximum potential energy
Initial kinetic energy =
Mgh (max) = 200 J
h = 20 m
The height travelled by the body, h' = 18 m
Loss of energy due to air friction = mgh – mgh'
Energy lost = 200 J – 1 × 10 × 18 J = 20 J.
