Work and energy

Q1. Multiple choice questions:-

1. When a body falls freely towards the earth, then its total energy
a. increases b. decreases c. remains constant d. first increases then decreases
2. In case of negative work, the angle between the force and displacement is
a. 0° b. 45° c. 90° d. 180°
3. Which one of the following is not the unit of energy?
a. Joule b. Newton metre c. Kilowatt d. Kilowatt hour
4. A body is falling from a height of ‘h’. After it has fallen a height h/2, it will possess
a. only potential energy b. only kinetic energy c. half PE & half KE d. more KE &
less PE
5. A toy car move on the floor due to wind as it possesses
a. stored KE b. stored PE c. wind energy d. motion due to KE
7. A force of 20N acts on a body. The body moves 2m in the direction of the force. What is
the work done by the force?
a. 10J b. 40J c. 10W d. 40W
8. Assertion- Whenever energy gets transformed; the total energy remains the same
Reason- Energy cannot be converted from one form to another- Both correct and R
explains
9. Assertion- The work done is negative when a force slows down a body’s motion
Reason- The amount of work done is determined by the force-displacement A is true R is
false
10. Assertion- In Govind sagar lake of Bhakranangal Dam, a huge quantity of water is stored
Reason- The stored water has kinetic energy which generates electricity for us- A is true
R is false

Q2. Is kinetic energy a scalar or vector quantity?

Horizontal distance covered is 25m while displacement is 20m.
a) Calculate KE of the girl
b) Calculate the gravitational PE when the girl reaches the top
c) What is the work done by motor to raise the girl to a vertical height?
d) What will be the power exerted by the motor?
Q4. Which of the following activities justify the work done:
1. A baby lying in the pram
2. An engine is pulling a train
3. Monkey going up the tree
4. Rohan swimming in a pool
5. A sailboat is moving due to wind energy
