A particle is released from a height of \(S\) above the surface of the earth. At a certain height, its kinetic energy is three times its potential energy. The distance from the earth's surface and the speed of the particle at that instant are respectively:
1. \(\frac{S}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3gS}}{2}\) 2. \(\frac{S}{4}, \sqrt{\frac{3gS}{2}}\)
3. \(\frac{S}{4},\frac{3gS}{2}\) 4. \(\frac{S}{4},\frac{\sqrt{3gS}}{3}\)
