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° 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° to the motion of satelite.

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

Question 411 Mark
A body is thrown vertically upwards. Its velocity goes on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy as its velocity becomes zero?
Answer
When the velocity becomes zero, the kinetic energy also becomes zero since kinetic energy is directly proportional to square of the velocity.

Question 431 Mark
How much work is done when a force of 1N moves a body through a distance of 1m in its own direction?
Answer
Force, F = 1N
Distance, s = 1m
Work done W = F × s
= 1 × 1 = 1J

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
$\text{Power}=\frac{\text{Work done}}{\text{Time taken}}=\frac{1200}{120}=10\text{W}$
