Sketch a pair of graphs to show the variation in kinetic and potential energies relative to height above x above the ground for an object dropped from rest from a height h above the ground.At what height above the ground would the two energies be equal to each other?

Expert Answer
Kinetic energy K = (1/2) m v2 ................(1)
where m is mass of object, v is the velocity of object while falling down
velocity v of falling down object that is dropped from height is given by,
v2 = 2g(h-x) ........................(2)
where x is the vertical distance above ground.
Using eqn.(1) and (2) , we get Kinetic energy K = (1/2)m (2g) (h-x) = m g (h-x) .................................(3)
Potential energy U at a distance x above ground, U = m g x ...............................(4)
If potential energy and kinetic energy are equal, then from eqn.(3) and eqn.(4) we have , m g x = m g (h-x) or x = h/2
Hence when the falling object reaches half of the height , its potential energy is equal to kineteic energy
