NEET 2021 Physics Energy Conservation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

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 :

A

S/4, √3gS/2

B

S/2, √3gS

C

S/2, 3√gS/2

D

S/4, 3√gS/2

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using energy conservation, KE = 3PE, solve for height and velocity using mgh and 1/2 mv².
