Question 201 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 261 Mark
What is the kinetic energy of an object?
Answer
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion. Every moving object possesses kinetic energy. A body uses kinetic energy to do work. Kinetic energy of hammer is used in driving a nail into a log of wood, kinetic energy of air is used to run wind mills, etc.

Question 291 Mark
Relate watt to joule.
Answer
As we know that $\text{Power}=\frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Time}}$ $\text{watt}=\frac{\text{joule}}{\text{second}}$ So if the time is taken as unity then we can define watt in terms of joule. Therefore, One watt power is equal to one joule work when the time taken is unity.

Question 311 Mark
Which will have more impact on kinetic energy-doubling mass or velocity?
Answer
As kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass, so if mass is doubled (i.e. it becomes 2m), then kinetic energy will also get doubled. Hence, it is clear that doubling the velocity has a greater effect on the kinetic energy of an object.

MCQ 401 Mark
Energy conservation law says that:
  • A
    Energy can't be destroyed but can be produced.
  • Neither energy can be produced nor can be destroyed.
  • C
    Energy can't be produced but can be destroyed.
  • D
    Energy can be produced and can be destoyed
Answer
Correct option: B.
Neither energy can be produced nor can be destroyed.
In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant — it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another.

Question 431 Mark
When do we say that work is done?
Answer
Work is done whenever the given conditions are satisfied:
  1. A force acts on the body.
  2. There is a displacement of the body caused by the applied force along the direction of the applied force.

Question 441 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 451 Mark
A load of $100\ kg$ is pulled up by $5\ m$. Calculate the work done.$ (8 = 9.8m/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.
