An object is falling freely from a height $x$. After it has fallen a height $\frac{x}{2}$, it will possess:
(a) only potential energy
(b) only kinetic energy
(c) half potential and half kinetic energy
(d) less potential and more kinetic energy
Let $m$ be the mass of the object. It is falling freely from the height $x$
At height $x$:
Potential energy $=mgx$
At height $\frac{x}{2}$:
Potential energy $=mg(\frac{x}{2})=\frac{mgx}{2}$
So, at $\frac{x}{2}$ height the object will possess half potential energy and half kinetic energy.
So, option (c) is correct.
