Question 91. Solar panels are used for harnessing solar energy. This solar energy is then used to charge an electric cell and this electric cell is used to move a toy. What are the energy changes that take place?
  1.    Solar energy - Chemical energy - Kinetic energy
  2.    Kinetic energy - Solar energy - Chemical energy
  3.    Chemical energy - Kinetic energy - Solar energy
  4.    Potential energy - Chemical energy - Solar energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Solar energy - Chemical energy - Kinetic energy
:
A
Solar panels containphotovoltaic cells, which converts the sunlight to electricity.The electric cell stores this electrical energy in the form of chemical energy. When a toy is connected to this electric cell, the stored energy is used to move the toy. Therefore the toy possesses kinetic energy due to its motion.Thus,the energy changes occurring over here are solar energy to chemical energy and then this chemical energy is convertedto kinetic energy.
Question 92. A car accelerates from rest to 100 ms1 in 10 seconds. If mass of the car is 50 kg then power developed by the engine is:
  1.    20 kW
  2.    25 kW
  3.    30 kW
  4.    35 kW
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 25 kW
:
B
Given, mass of the body m=50kg, initial velocity u=0ms1, velocity v=100ms1 and time t=10s.
The change in kinetic energy of the car would be equal to the work done by the engine.
Since, power is work done per unit time, so change in kinetic energy of the car and the time taken for that change would give us the power developed by the engine.
i.e.Work done =12×m×v212×m×u2=12×50×100212×50×02=250000J.

Power =WorkTime=25000010=25000W=25kW
Question 93. Each time the heart beats, it requires 5 J of energy. If it beats 72 times in one minute then the power consumed by the heart is 360 W.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Heat - Kinetic - Chemical
  4.    Kinetic - Chemical- Heat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
We know that power is the energy consumed per unit time.
PowerConsumed=EnergyConsumedTime
The heart beats 72 times in one minute i.e. 60 seconds.
Energy consumed in one heart beat = 5 J
Energy consumed in 72heart beats = 5 ×72 J
On substituting all these values, we get
PowerConsumed=5×7260=6W
The power consumed by the heart is6W.
Question 94. The work done in shifting a baggage from the first floor of a building to the second floor is 100 J. The change in gravitational potential energy of the baggage is: 
  1.    1000 J
  2.    100 J
  3.    200 J
  4.    400 J
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 100 J
:
B
The change in gravitational potential energy of the baggage isequal to the work done against gravity in shifting the baggage from the first floor to the second floor.
Hence, it will be equal to 100 J.
Question 95. If three objects of same mass are dropped from different heights h1h2 & h3 such that h1 > h2 < h3, then which of the following is true about their corresponding potential energy (PE1PE2 & PE3):
  1.    PE1 > PE2 > PE3
  2.    PE1 > PE2 < PE3
  3.    PE1 < PE2 < PE3
  4.    PE1 < PE2 > PE3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> PE1 > PE2 < PE3
:
B
Potential Energy = Force × Displacement =mg×h where, m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.
Since the objects are of the same mass and acceleration due to gravity has a fixed value on earth, the force mg in all three cases aresame.
Potential Energy =constant×h
Potential energy is directly proportional to its height.
We know that,h1 > h2 < h3.
Therefore, PE1 > PE2 < PE3
Question 96. A child is moving on a skateboard at the speed of 2 ms1. After a force acts on him, his speed becomes 3 ms1. Calculate the work done by the force, if the weight of the child is 20 kg.
  1.    20 J
  2.    50 J
  3.    100 J
  4.    320 J
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 50 J
:
B
Let initial velocity of the child be v1 and final velocity be v2
v1=2ms1
v2=3ms1
Since the child is in motion, he will have a kinetic energy ofmv22, which will be increasedwhen an external force acts on him.
Work done by the external force on the child =mv222mv212
=20×(94)2
=10×5=50J.
Question 97. Statement 1: Force acting on a body increases its kinetic energy from 200 J to 400 J and this force does a positive work on the body.
Statement 2: A force does a positive work on an object when the displacement is in the direction of force itself.
  1.    Both the statements are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
  2.    Both the statements are true and statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
  3.    Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
  4.    Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both the statements are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
:
A
Any force is said to have done a positive work on an object if that force or any component of it displaces the object in the direction in which it acts. It can be seen that the kinetic energy of the body increases due to the application of force, therefore the velocity of the body increases which implies that the displacement is positive.
Question 98. A boy was playing with a spongy ball, compressing and releasing it. What will be the work done by the boy on the ball and the ball on the boy respectively at the time of compressing?
  1.    Positive, Negative
  2.    Negative, Positive
  3.    Positive, Positive
  4.    Negative, Negative
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Positive, Negative
:
A
At the time of compressing, the work done by the boy on the ball is positive as it causes the ball to squeeze which is in direction of force applied.
But the ball resists to change its shape and always tries to regain its original shape by opposing the force applied, therefore, the work done by the ball on the boy is negative.
Question 99. Two boys were playing with a ball on a level ground. One of the boys throws the ball on the third floor of the building which is at a height of 5 m and the other boy manages to throw on the fourth floor which is at a height of 7 m from the level ground. Find the ratio of the work done by both the boys?
  1.    1 : 1
  2.    2 : 3
  3.    5 : 7
  4.    3 : 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5 : 7
:
C
The ratio of work done by both the boys is the respective change in gravitational potential energies of the ball. Taking the ground level as the reference, the change ingravitational potential energy is m×g×h where m- mass, g- acceleration due to gravity and h- height from the earth surface. Thechange for one ball would be m×g×5 and for the other it would be m×g×7 after starting from a zero gravitational potential energy from the ground.
The ratio of the work done would be equal to

m×g×5m×g×7=5:7
Question 100. How fast should a man weighing 600N needs to run, so that his kinetic energy is 750J? Take g=10ms2
  1.    3ms−1
  2.    4ms−1
  3.    5ms−1
  4.    6ms−1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5ms−1
:
C
Given, the weight of a man, W=600N, g=10ms2, kinetic energy, KE=750J
Let the mass of the man be m and the velocity be v.
We know, W=mg
So, 600=m×10
On solving we get, m=60kg
As we know, KE=12mv2
So, 750=12×60×v2
or,v=5ms1
