A spherical ball of mass 20 kg is station

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A spherical ball of mass $20\, kg$ is stationary at the top of a hill of height $100 \,m$. It slides down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height $30 \,m$ and finally slides down to a horizontal base at a height of $20 \,m$ above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is ............... $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

A

$10$

B

$10\sqrt {30} $

C

$40 $

D

$20 $

A spherical ball of mass $20\, kg$ is stationary at the top of a hill of height $100 \,m$. It slides down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height $30 \,m$ and finally slides down to a horizontal base at a height of $20 \,m$ above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is ............... $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Ball starts from the top of a hill which is $100 $ $m$ high and finally rolls down to a horizontal base which is $20 m $ above the ground so from the conservation of energy 

$mg\,({h_1} - {h_2}) = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$

$⇒$ $v = \sqrt {2g({h_1} - {h_2})} = \sqrt {2 \times 10 \times (100 - 20)} $ 

$ = \sqrt {1600} = 40\,m/s$.
