What happens if a body falls towards the earth?
Total energy of an isolated system-
A ball is thrown vertically up with a velocity . At what height will its kinetic energy be half its original value?
An object is dropped from a certain distance when she is at half distance she is ______ in it?
A shaped smooth wire has a semi-circular bend of radius between and . It is held fixed in a vertical plane. A bead of mass is released from height (above ) and slides smoothly along the wire to reach the same height on other side of the wire. It is given that .
Consider the motion of the bead between and the lowest point of the wire. The ratio of change in magnitude of velocity of the particle at to the magnitude of change in its velocity at is nearly equal to
A U-tube of cross section and as shown contains liquid of density . Initially, the liquid in the two arms are held with a level difference . After being released the levels equalize after some time. The work done by gravity forces on the liquid in the process is -
A ball of mass and another of mass are dropped together from a feet tall building. After a fall of feet each towards earth, their respective kinetic energies will be in the ratio of
