Work Energy And Power Ques 16
16. A ball of mass $2 $ $kg$ and another of mass $4$ $ kg$ are dropped together from a $60$ feet tall building. After a fall of $30$ feet each towards earth, their respective kinetic energies will be in the ratio of
[2004]
(a) $1: \sqrt{2}$
(b) $\sqrt{2}: 1$
(c) $1: 4$
(d) $1: 2$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 16.(d)
Solution:
- (d)
Since height is same for both balls, their velocities on reaching the ground will be same.
$ \therefore \frac{K \cdot E_1}{K \cdot E_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_0^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} m_2 v_0^{2}}=\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} $
