Question 161 Mark
In which of the following case the work done by a force will be maximum: when the angle between the direction of force and direction of motion is $0^{\circ}$ or $90^{\circ}?$
Answer
Work done will be maximum when angle between the direction of force and direction of motion is $0^\circ $ because, $\text{W} =\text{F}\cos\theta\times\text{s}.$ And, $\cos\theta\ 0^\circ=1$ and $90^\circ=0$

Question 351 Mark
How much work is done by the gravitational force of earth acting on a satellite moving around it in a circular path? Give reason for your answer.
Answer
The work done is zero because the gravitational force acts along the radius of the circular path, at right angles i.e. $90^\circ $ to the motion of satelite.

Question 361 Mark
A load of $100\ kg$ is pulled up by $5m.$ Calculate the work done. $(8 = 9.8m/s)$
Answer
$\text { Mass }=100 \mathrm{~kg}$
$\text { Height }=5 \mathrm{~m}$
$\mathrm{~g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$\text { P.E. }=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g} \times \mathrm{h}$
$=100 \times 5 \times 9.8=4900 \mathrm{~J}$
Work done is equal to $PE$ acquired by the body.

Question 441 Mark
A body does $1200$ joules of work in $2$ minutes. Calculate its power.
Answer
Work done $= 1200J$ Time taken $2$ minutes $= 2 × 60 = 120s$
$\text{Power}=\frac{\text{Work done}}{\text{Time taken}}=\frac{1200}{120}=10\text{W}$
