Question. A girl sits and stands repeatedly for 5 minutes. Draw a graph to show variation of potential energy with time.
Answer.

Question. Define 1 J of work.
Answer.Work done = Force x Displacement
Force, F = 1 N and displacement, s = 1 m, then the
work done by the force will be 1 Nm or 1 J. Thus, 1 J is the amount of work done on an object when a force of 1 N displaces it by 1 m along the line of action of the force.

Question. A light and a heavy body have the same momentum. Which one will have greater kinetic energy?

Thus, the lighter body has more kinetic energy than the heavier body.

Question. (i) What is a closed system?
(ii) State the law of conservation of energy.
Answer.
(i) A system that does not interact with another is a closed system. Energy in a closed system is neither taken out of it nor taken in from outside.
However, energy transformation may occur inside a closed system.
(ii) The law of conservation of energy states that “the energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, the total energy of a closed system remains constant. Therefore, whenever one from of energy disappear, an equivalent amount of another form appears.

Question. A hammer of mass 1 kg falls freely from a height of 2 m. Calculate (I) The velocity and (II) The kinetic energy of the hammer just before it touches the ground. Does the velocity of hammer depend on the mass of hammer?
Answer.
PE = mgh = 1 × 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 J
PE = KE = 0.5 mv²
19.6 = 0.5 × 1 × v²
39.2 = v²
v = 6.29 m/s
No, velocity of hammer does not depend on the mass of the hammer as v = u + at

Question. Calculate the change that should be affected in the velocity of a body to maintain the same KE, if mass of the body is increased to 4 times.
Answer.
Original KE = 1/2 mv₁²
Now, if mass if increase 4 times then,
New KE = 4 × 1/2 mv₂²
1/2 mv₁² = 4 × 1/2 mv₂²
v₁² = 4 v₂²
v₂=v₁/2
Hence, new velocity will be bay the original velocity.

Question. A rickshaw puller pulls the rickshaw by applying a force of 100 N. If the rickshaw moves with constant velocity of 36 kmh^–1. Find the power of rickshaw puller.
Answer.
Force = 100 N
Velocity = 36 km/h
= (36×5)/18 = 10 m/s
Power = Force × Velocity
Power = 100 × 10 = 1000 Watt
Therefore, power of rickshaw puller = 1000 Watt

Question. An athlete weighing 60 kg runs up a staircase having 10 steps each of 1 m in 30 sec. Calculate power (g = 9.8ms^–1).
Answer.
h = 10 × 1m = 10 m
