Question

An object is falling freely from a height h. At which point will the kinetic energy be minimum?

A.

A

B.

B

C.

C

D.

D

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d)

Explanation:

When an object is falling freely from a height:

  • At the highest point (initial position), the gravitational potential energy is at its maximum because the object is at a significant height.

  • As the object falls, the gravitational potential energy decreases and is converted into kinetic energy.

  • The gravitational potential energy will be minimum at the point of impact with the ground, as the object is at the lowest possible height.

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy is minimum at the point of impact (D), where the object hits the ground.
