One ball is aprojected in the uapward directon with a certain velocity ‘v’ and other is thrown downwards with the same velocity ​

Complete question is;

One ball is projected in the upward direction with a certain velocity ‘v’ and other is thrown downwards with the same velocity at an angle θ.

The ratio of their potential energies at highest points of their journey, will be:

u² : (u cos θ)²

Explanation:

Maximum potential energy for the first ball will be at a maximum height of;

H = u²/2g

Thus;

PE = mg(u²/2g)

For second ball at an angle θ, maximum PE will occur at a max height of (u cos θ)²/2g

PE = mg((u cos θ)²/2g)

The ratios of the potential energies are;

mg(u²/2g) : mg((u cos θ)²/2g)

mg will will cancel out since they are of same mass.

Thus;

(u²/2g) : (u cos θ)²/2g

Again 2g will cancel out to give;

u² : (u cos θ)²

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
