Question on: JAMB Physics - 1999
A ball of mass 0.1kg is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 10ms-1 from the top of a tower 10m high. Neglecting air resistance, its total energy just before hitting the ground is
(take g = 10ms-2)
A
5 J
B
10 J
C
15 J
D
20 J
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Height h = 1/2 (U2/g) = 102/20 = 5m
Energy before hitting ground is = P.E at the height of 15m.
P.E = mgh = 0.1 x 10 x 15 = 15 J
