Class 11 NEET Physics Work, Energy and Power Questions

Let required height of body is y.
When body from rest falls through height (S – y)
Then under constant accelerationv2=02+2g(S−y)
v=√2g(S−y) ......(1)
When body is at height y above ground. Potential energy of body of mass m
U = mgy
As per given condition kinetic energy, K = 3U
