If a body mass 5kg is thrown vertically upwards... - JAMB Physics 2008 Question

If a body mass 5kg is thrown vertically upwards with velocity u,at what height will the potential energy equal to the kinetic energy?
A
h =(u)2/g
B
h = (u)2/4g
C
h = (2u)2/g
D
h = (u)2/2g
correct option: b
From V2 = U2 + 2as
O = U 2 - 2gH, since at maximum height H, the final velocity, v = O.
∴ H = (U)2/2g
PE = KE at (1)/2 H = (U)2/2g x (1)/2 = U2 4g
