Explanation
Joule and erg both are units of work done. An erg is the amount of work done by applying a force of one dyne for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it will be one gram centimeter-squared per second-squared. Whereas joule is the amount of work done by applying a force of one newton for a distance of one meter.
Thus,
1joule=1newton×1m
1joule=1kg×1m1s2×1m
1J=1000g×100cm1s2×100cm
1J=107 erg
Thus option D is correct.
Given W= work done
and mass = m
and vertical height= H
and gravitational force= g
W= mgh
We know that, the kinetic energy is
K.E=12mv2....(I)
Checking all options given -
A) m=3M & v=v
K.E=12mv2
K.E=12×3M×v2
K.E=3Mv22
B) m=3M & v=2v
K.E=12×3M×4v2
K.E=6Mv2
C) m=2M & v=3v
K.E=12×2M×9v2
K.E=9Mv2
D) m=M & v=4v
K.E=12×M×16v2
K.E=8Mv2
Hence, the largest kinetic energy is 9Mv2 when m=2M and v=3v.
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
As object move upward is velocity will decrease due to deceleration by gravity.
So its kinetic energy =12mv2 will decrease as it move upward.
But its potential energy =mgH will increase as it move upward.
Hence, total energy will remain constant.
