Question 1 Report

A body rolls down a slope from a height of 100m. its velocity at the foot of the slope is 20ms-1. What percentage of its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy? [g = 10ms-1]
Answer Details
P.E = mgh = 1000m joules

K.E =  1 2 mv2 = 200m joules

%converted =  200 m 1000 m  x 100

= 20%
