Short Answer Based questions
- What is unit of energy?
- The total energy when a body falls freely towards earth remains constant. True or false?
- What do you mean by kinetic energy of the body?
- If the mass of the body is doubled and velocity is made halved, the kinetic energy will become?
- Potential energy is a vector quantity True or false?
- When the force acts at right angle to the direction of motion, what is the work done by the force
- What is Power?
- What is Law of conservation of energy?
Answer
a. Joule
b. True
c. Energy associated with the motion of the object is called Kinetic energy. A body of mass m and moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy
$K=\frac {1}{2}mv^2$
d. Now,
$K=\frac {1}{2}mv^2$
If mass is double and velocity is made halved
$K_1=\frac {1}{2} 2m (v/2)^2 =\frac {1}{2} K$
So Kinetic energy get halved
e. False
f. Workdone is zero
g. Power is defined as the rate of doing work. The SI unit of power is watt. 1 W = 1 J/s
h. Energy can not be created or destroyed.It can be transformed from one form to another

Answer
Workdone is given by
$W= Fd cos \theta$
Where $\theta$ is the angle between force and displacement
$cos 30 = \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}$
$cos 45 = \frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}$
$cos 60 = \frac {1}{2}$
$cos 90 = 0$
So,answer is

Short Answer type question
Question 1.An electric bulb of 100 W is used for 8 h per day. Calculate the 'units' of energy consumed in one day by the bulb?
Answer
Power of electric bulb = 60 W
= 0.1 kW.
Time used, t = 8 h
$Energy = power \times \text{time taken}$
$= 0.1 \times 8 $
$= 0.8 kWh$
= 0.8 'units'.
The energy consumed by the bulb is 0.8 'units'.
Question 2. Find the energy possessed by an object of mass 10 kg when it is at a height of 2 m above the ground. Given, g = 10 m/s
2.
Answer
Energy possessed = PE= $mgH= 10 \times 10 \times 2 = 200 J$
Question 3. An engineer is asked to design a playground slide such that the speed a child reaches at the bottom does not exceed 4.0 m/s. Determine the maximum height that the slide can be.?Given, g = 9.8 m/s
2.
Answer
Entire PE is converted to KE when the child reaches bottom
So
KE = PE
$\frac {1}{2} mv^2 = mgH$
or $H= \frac {v^2}{2g} = \frac {16}{2 \times 9.8} = .816 m$
Question 4. Which one of the following is not the unit of energy?
(a) joule
(b) newton metre
(c) kilowatt
(d) kilowatt hour
Answer
(c)
Question 5. A rocket is moving up with a velocity v. If the velocity of this rocket is suddenly tripled, what will be the ratio of two kinetic energies?
Answer
$KE_1 = \frac {1}{2} mv^2 $
$KE_2 = \frac {1}{2} m(3v)^2 =9 \times \frac {1}{2} mv^2$
$KE_1 : KE_2 = 1 :9 $
Question 6. A force of 10 N displaces a body by a distance of 3 m at an angle 60° to its own direction. Find the amount of work done.
Answer
Workdone is given by
$W= Fd cos \theta$
Where $\theta$ is the angle between force and displacement
$cos 60 = \frac {1}{2}$
Hence $W= 10 \times 3 \times \frac {1}{2} = 15 J$
