Answer all questions

SECTION A (1 x 5 = 5)

1. What are the various factors affecting kinetic energy?

a. Mass
b. Momentum
c. Velocity
d. All the above options
2. A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m.
a. Its potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases during the falls
b. Its potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy during the fall.
c. The potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.
d. The potential energy is 0 and kinetic energy is maximum while it is falling.
3. A car is accelerated on a levelled road and attains a velocity of 4 times of the initial
velocity. In the process the potential energy of the car
a. does not change
b. become twice of the initial
c. becomes 4 times of the initial
d. becomes 16 times of the initial
Directions: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given, and a
corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of the statements, given below,
mark the correct answer as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true, but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false, but reason is true.
4. Assertion: A light body and heavy body have same momentum. Then they also have
same kinetic energy.
Reason: Kinetic energy depends on mass of the body.
5. Assertion: No work is done when a woman carrying a load on her head, walks on a level
road with a uniform velocity.
Reason: No work is done if force is perpendicular to the direction of displacement.

SECTION B ( 2 x 1= 2)

6. An object of mass m when raised to a height h possess a potential energy of 1200 J. Find
the new potential energy:
(a) if the same object is raised to height h/4.
(b) if the same object is raised to height 4h.

SECTION C (3 x 1 = 3)

7. (a) Write down the expression for potential energy.

(b) An arrow moves forward when released from a stretched bow. Explain the
transformation of energy in the process.
(c) A boy of mass 50 kg climbs up a vertical height of 100 m. Calculate the amount of
potential energy he gains.

SECTION D ( 5 x 1= 5)

8. (a)Derive an expression for kinetic energy of a body having mass m and moving with a
velocity v.
(b)When velocity of a body is increased 5 times, what is the change in its kinetic energy?
(c)Two masses m and 2m are dropped from heights h and 2h. On reaching the ground,
which will have greater kinetic energy and why?

SECTION E (5 x1 = 5)
9. Justify giving proper reasoning whether the work done in the following cases is positive
or negative :
(a) Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the
bucket.
(b) Work done by gravitational force in the above case.
(c) Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
(d) Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with
uniform velocity.
(e) Work done by resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.
