Q14 · Physics

A particle is released from height S from the surface of the Earth. At a certain height its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height from the surface of earth and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively :

  1. 1S2\frac{S}{2}, 3gS2\frac{\sqrt{3gS}}{2}
  2. 2S4\frac{S}{4}, 3gS2\sqrt{\frac{3gS}{2}}Official answer
  3. 3S4\frac{S}{4}, 3gS2\frac{3gS}{2}
  4. 4S4\frac{S}{4}, 3gS2\frac{\sqrt{3gS}}{2}

Official answer: option 2 · NTA final answer key
