8. A particle is thrown upward with some kinetic energy. What happened to its kinetic energy at the highest point or height it reaches? |
|
Answer» particle is thrown UPWARD with some kinetic ENERGY then, it's velocity starts decreasing. Due to continuously decrease in velocity, Kinetic Energy also starts decreasing.We know that, K.E. = 1/2 mv²At the HIGHEST point, v = 0. So, K.E. = 1/2 m (0)²K.E. = 0Therefore, Kinetic Energy is also zero.At the highest point, Kinetic Energy becomes zero and Kinetic Energy CONVERTS into Potential Energy. |
