CBSE Class 11-science Answered

The stone is thrown vertically upwards, so velocity is upwards, but the acceleration due to gravity is downwards,

v = u + at = u + (-g)t = 9.8 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) (0.5 s) = 4.9 m/s

{ u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, a = acceleration, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity, m = mass}

Hence KE = mv²/2 = (0.4 kg)(4.9 m/s)²/2 = 4.8 J

Initial KE = (0.4 kg)(9.8 m/s)²/2 = 19.2 J

Initial KE decreases, and the decreased amount is converted into PE.

Hence PE = Initial KE - Final KE = 19.2 J - 4.8 J = 14.4 J 

So the answer is KE energy is 4.8 J and PE is 14.4 J after half second.
