Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m.
The parameters given from the question are:
Mass M = 2kg
Height h = 20m
Let g = 9.8m/s^2
At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.
From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E
Maximum P.E = mgh
Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J
But
K.E = 1/2mv^2
Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula
392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2
V^2 = 392
V = sqrt( 392 )
V = 19.8 m/s
V = 20 m/s approximately
