Question 4.
The certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 ms-1 to 2 ms-1. Calculate the work done by the force.
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the body (m) = 20 kg
Initial velocity of the body (u) = 5 ms-1
Final velocity of the body (v) = 2 ms-1
Initial kinetic energy of the body (E1) = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mu2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 20 × (5)2 J = 250J
Final kinetic energy of the body (E2) = \(\frac {1}{2}\)m(v)2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 20 × (2)2 J = 40 J
Thus, Work done = Change in the Kinetic Enegry = E1 – E2
= 250 J – 40J = 210 J

Question 5
A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal. What is the work done on the object by the gravitational force ? Explain your answer.
Solution:

Question 6.
The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy ? Why ?
Answer:
The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively but this does not violate the law of conservation of energy because this energy is transferred in kinetic energy. The total potential energy nearest to earth changes in kinetic energy and on reaching the earth, it converts in potential energy.

Question 7.
What are the various energy transformations that occur when you are riding a bicycle?

When we ride a bicycle, our muscular energy changes in kinetic energy and we get muscular energy from the food after converting in chemical energy.

Question 8.
Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it ? Where is the energy you spend going?
Answer:
When we push a huge rock with all our might and fail to move it, the transformation of energy in this stage wastes against friction and the work done is considered as zero.

Question 9.
A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is , in joules?
Solution:
Here,
Energy consumed = 250 units = 250 kWh = 250 × 1000 × 3600s = 900000000 watt second = 9 × 108J

Question 10.
An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy ? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is halfway down, (g = 10 ms-2 )
Solution:
Here,
The mass of the object (m) = 40 kg
Height of the object from the earth (h) = 5 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 ms-2
Potential energy of the object (w) = mgh
40 × 5 × 10 J = 200J
If the object is allowed to fall freely, the half of the potential energy of the object in the halfway will convert in kinetic energy. Therefore the kinetic energy of the object when it is half-way down = \(\frac {2000}{2}\) = 1000J

Question 15.
Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest ? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy.gy ?
Solution:
When we take the bob or pendulum from its middle position to one side (let left side) upto some height, the work done by it is conserved in the form of potential energy. When the bob is allow to swing, then the total potential energy of the bob changes into kinetic energy on reaching left-to-right and middle position. This kinetic energy takes the bob upto that height at which the kinetic energy is changed into potential energy. Due to this potential energy, the bob oscillates again from right to middle. This continuous and bob or pendulum moves from right-left.
HBSE 9th Class Science Solutions Chapter 11 Work and Energy - 5
After sometime bob comes in rest because frictional force of air works on it and the energy is wasted to work against it. This is not the violation of the law of conservation of energy.

Question 17.
Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h ?
Solution:
Here,
Mass of the car (m) = 1500 kg
Velocity of the car (v) = 60 km/h
= \(\frac{60 \times 1000}{3600}\) ms-1 = \(\frac{50}{3}\) ms-1
Thus, kinetic energy of the car = \(\frac {1}{2}\) mv2 = \(\frac {1}{2}\) = 1500 × \(\frac {1}{2}\) × \(\frac {1}{2}\)J = 208333.3 J
∴ The Work Required to be done to stop the car = 208333.3 J
