In which of the following cases, is work being done? (i) A man pushing a wall. (ii) a coolie standing with a load of 12 kgf on his head. (iii) A boy climbing up a staircase.
Answer
Work is done only in case of a boy climbing up a stair case.
A satellite revolves around the earth in a circular orbit. What is the work done by the force of gravity? Give reason.
Answer
Work done by the force of gravity (which provides the centripetal force) is zero as the force of gravity acting on the satellite is normal to the displacement of the satellite.
A body is moved in a direction opposite to the direction of force acting on it. State whether the work is done by the force or work is done against the force
A force F acts on a body and displaces it by a distance S in a direction at an angle θ with the direction of force. Write the expression for the work done by the force.
Answer
(a) When force is at an angle to the direction of displacement, then work done, W= F S cos θ
Electric power is the rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second
