Q.

A particle is placed at the point A of a frictionless track ABC as shown in the figure. It is gently pushed towards the right. The speed of the particle when it reaches the point B is (Take g = 10 m/s2).          [2024]

1 20 m/s  
2 10 m/s  
3 210 m/s  
4 10 m/s  

Ans.

By energy conservation

|ΔPE|=|ΔKE|

mg(h2-h1)=(12mv2-0)

mg[0.5]=12mv2

v=10 m/s
