A particle is placed at the point A of a frictionless track ABC as shown in figure. It is gently pushed towards right. The speed of the particle when it reaches the point B is : (Take g=10 m/s2). [figure]
- 2 10 m/s
- 10 m/s
- 10 m/s
- 20 m/s
Answer
(3) 10 m/s
Solution
Track is frictionless mechanical energy is conserved (vA 0)
mg hA=mg hB+ 12mvB2
vB= 2g(hA-hB)= 2 10 (1-0.5)
= 10 m/s
Answer: (3)
