Answer:
v = 2.31 m/s
Explanation:
Kinetic energy will be converted partially into potential energy and rest will remain in the form of kinetic energy .
Initial kinetic energy = 1/2 mu²
u is initial velocity at the bottom .
Potential energy at the top
= mgh
Kinetic energy at the top
= 1/2 m v²
According to conservation of energy
1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 m v²
1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²
.5 x 4.5² = 9.8 x .76 + .5 v²
10.125 = 7.448 + .5 x v²
v = 2.31 m/s
