Advertisements
Solution
Two examples in which the body possesses kinetic energy as well as potential energy are-
(i) A man climbing a hill
(ii) A bird flying in the sky
In both of the above examples, we can observe that the body has speed and its position is above the ground. Therefore, these bodies have kinetic and potential energy.

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now the car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
