Physics · Work, Energy and Power
A particle slides down a frictionless parabolic track (y = x2) starting from rest at point A. Point B is at the vertex of the parabola and point C is at a height less than that of point A. After crossing C, the particle moves freely in the air as a projectile and reaches its highest point at P. Which of the following statements is correct regarding this motion?
- 1Time of travel from A to B = Time of travel from B to P
- 2Total mechanical energy at P = Total mechanical energy at A✓
- 3Height at P = Height at A
- 4Kinetic energy at P = Kinetic energy at B
Correct answer
Total mechanical energy at P = Total mechanical energy at A
