An object of mass 0.25kg moves at a height h above the ground with a speed of 4ms-1, if its mechanical energy at this height is 12 J, determine the value of h. [g = 10ms-1]

  • A. 0.8m
  • B. 4.0m
  • C. 4.8m
  • D. 5.6m

Correct Answer: C. 4.8m

Explanation

h = \(\frac{PE}{mg} - \frac{12}{0.25 \times 10} = 4.8m\)
