Question:
A ball of mass 10 g is allowed to fall down from 10 m height. After collision with the ground, if 50\% of its energy is lost, then the height reached by the ball is:
A ball of mass 10 g is allowed to fall down from 10 m height. After collision with the ground, if 50\% of its energy is lost, then the height reached by the ball is:
Show Hint
When energy is lost in a collision, calculate the remaining energy and use it to find the new height.

- 4 m
- 6 m
- 5 m
- 7 m
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The potential energy lost in the fall is proportional to the height fallen. Given that 50\% of the energy is lost after the ball hits the ground, the remaining energy determines the maximum height reached, which is 5 m.
Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
