A particle is released from a height S. At certain height its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The height and speed of the particle at that instant are respectively
An electric pump is used to fill an overhead tank of capacity 9 m3 kept at a height of 10 m above the ground. If the pump takes 5 min to fill the tank by consuming 10 kW power, the efficiency of the pump should be (Take g = 10 ms-2)

Potential energy in a spring when stretched by 2 cm is U. Its potential energy, when stretched by 10 cm is
25 U
5 U
C.
25 U
Since potential energy,
U ∝ x2
Therefore, new potential energy = 52U = 25 U
A running man has the same kinetic energy as that of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by 2 ms-1 and the boy changes his speed by x ms-1, so that the kinetic energies of the boy and the man are again equal. Then x in ms-1 is
