Work done by the car = (Weight of body)(Vertical distance)
$= (0.2)(10)(3)J$
$= 6J$
Now, we can calculate the power of the boy as,
$\text{Power}=\frac{\text{Work done}}{\text{Time}}$
So,
$\text{Power}=\frac{6}{2}\text{W}$
$=3\text{W}$
So, the power is $3W$.

  • B
    A fielder catching a ball
  • C
    A child pushes a wall
  • D
    A child pulling a toy car
Answer
Correct option: A.
A coolie carrying a load on his head and moving forward on a horizontal road
When a coolie carries a load on his head, he applies a force upwards against the weight of the load, i.e., against the gravitational force. And the displacement is forward horizontally. So, the angle between the force and the displacement is $90^\circ$
and the work done is zero.
To catch a ball, work done is negative as the ball moves in the opposite direction of force before coming to rest.
A child pushing a wall is an example of zero work as the wall suffers zero displacements.

In case of negative work the angle between the force and displacement is:
  • A
    $0^\circ$
  • B
    $45^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ $
  • $180^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$180^\circ$
 
  1. Work done $W = F.d \cos\theta$
$\therefore$ Work done at $\theta=0^\circ,\ \text{W}=\text{F.d}\ \cos0^\circ(\therefore\cos0^\circ=1)$
$\Rightarrow W = F.d$
For $\angle \theta=0^\circ,$
Work done Is positive, so it is not true.
  1. We know that work done, $W = F.d \cos\theta$
$\text{W}=\text{F.d}\ \cos45^\circ\Big(\because\cos45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)$
$\text{W}=\frac{\text{F.d}}{\sqrt{2}}$
For angle $0=45^\circ,$
work done is positive, so it is not true.
  1. We know that work done, $W = d \cos\theta$
Work done at $\theta=90^\circ, W = F.d \cos90^\circ(\therefore\cos90^\circ=0)$
$W = 0$
So, it in not true.
  1. Work done at $\theta=180^\circ,\ \text{W}=\text{F.d}\ \cos\theta\ (\therefore\cos180^\circ=-1)$
$W = -F.d$
For negative work, the angle between the force and displacement should be $180^\circ$.
$($i.e, force and displacement are anti parallel to each other$)$ So, it is true.

Correct option: D.
Both $K.E.$ and $P.E$

A ball rolling down a hill has both Kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is due to motion. So if the ball is rolling down it has kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy which is waiting to be used. If the ball is at a greater height it will have more potential energy. So when the body starts rolling the stored potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy which causes its motion. Hence a body rolling down a hill has both $K.E$ and $P.E$
