a body of mass 2 kg is thrown vertically upwards with the initial velocity of 20 m s-1. what will be its potential energy at the end of 2 seconds.(g=10m s-2)
Potential energy due to gravitational force is given as, P.E. = mgh
We have, u = 20 m/s, a = –10 m/s2, t = 2 s, s = h1
Hence potential energy after 2s, P.E.1 = (2 kg) � (10m/s2) � (20 m) = 400 J
