  1. [tex] \huge{ \mathtt{Given :-}}[/tex]

    • Mass of the object = 1 kg
    • Height above the ground = 5m
    • g = 10m/

    [tex] \huge{ \mathtt{To \: Find :-}}[/tex]

    • Gravitational Potential Energy
    • Kinetic Energy

    [tex] \huge{ \mathtt{Solution:-}}[/tex]

    Potential energy = mgh

    = 1 × 10 × 5 = 50 Joules.

    Kinetic energy = 1/2×m×v²

    = 1/2 × 1 × V² => V = ?

    [tex]\\ [/tex]

    [tex]\huge\red{Using \: Third \: equation \: of \: motion}[/tex]

    = 2as

    0² = 2 (10)(5)

    = 100

    V = 10 m/s

    [tex]\\[/tex]

    Hence, kinetic Energy =

    [tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times {(10)}^{2} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \\ \\ = 50 \: joules[/tex]

    Hence, the kinetic energy = 50 J and potential energy = 50 J

    [tex] \\ [/tex]
