Work Energy and Power

Question 1: easy

A force of (3ˆi + 4ˆj)N acts on a body and displaced it by (3ˆi + 4ˆj)m . The work done by the force is

1. 9 J
2. 16 J
3. 25 J
4. 50 J
View Answer

By Definition of Work ,

Work Done = F.S= (3ˆi + 4ˆj).(3ˆi + 4ˆj)= 9+16 =25 J

Question 2: easy

When the bob of a simple pendulum swings, the work done by tension in the string is

1. + ve
2. - ve
3. maximum
4. zero
View Answer

As Angle between tension force and displacement is 90°. Work done is zero

Question 3: easy

A 1 kg mass has a kinetic energy of 1 joule when its speed is :

1. 0.45 m/s
2. 1 m/s
3. 1.4 m/s
4. 4.4 m/s
View Answer

Kinetic Energy K = ½mv²

So, 1J = ½(1)v² so, v= √2 m/s= 1.414 m/s

Question 4: easy

When the velocity of a body is doubled :

1. its kinetic energy is doubled
2. its potential energy is doubled
3. its acceleration is doubled
4. its momentum is doubled
View Answer

Momentum of an object is P = m.v

So, when velocity is doubled momentum also doubles

Question 5: easy

A cubical vessel of height 1 m is full of water. The minimum work done in taking water-out from vessel will be

1. 5000 J
2. 10000 J
3. 5 J
4. 10 J
View Answer

As side length of cubical tank is 1 m. Volume is 1 m³. Volume of water in 1 m³ is 1000 lit and mass will be 1000 kg.

Height of center of mass of the tank will be 1/2 m.

Potential Energy = 1000 ×10 × 1/2 = 5000 J

Question 6: easy

Select correct statement regarding stable equilibrium

1. Potential energy of body is minimum in stable equilibrium
2. Slope of potential energy versus position graph is zero at stable equilibrium
3. A restoring force acts on the body when it is slightly displaced from its stable equilibrium position
4. All of these
View Answer

All the statements are true regarding stable equilibrium

Question 7: easy

An engine pumps 400 kg of water through height of 10 m in 40 s. Find the power of the pump (g = 10 m/s²).

1. 500 W
2. 750 W
3. 1000 W
4. 1250 W
View Answer

Power = Work Done / Time Taken

Here , Work Done = 400 ×10 ×10 J = 40000 J

Time Taken = 40 sec , So, 

Power = 40000/40 = 1000 W= 1 KW

Question 8: easy

A force F = (iˆ + ˆj + 2kˆ) N is acting on a particle moving with constant velocity v = (iˆ + ˆj + kˆ)  m/s. Power delivered by force is

1. 3 Watt
2. 4 Watt
3. 5 Watt
4. 6 Watt
View Answer

Power is dot product of Force and Velocity

P = F.v

⇒ P= (iˆ + ˆj + 2kˆ). (iˆ +  ˆj + kˆ)= 1+1+2= 4 watt

Question 9: easy

A body is released from position A as shown in figure. The speed of body at position B is

1. 10 m/s
2. 10√2 m/s
3. 20 m/s
4. 20√2 m/s
View Answer

From Principal of Conservation of Energy

Ui + Ki= Uf+ Kf

⇒ mg(50) + 0 = mg(10) + ½ m v²

⇒ v² = 800 

⇒ v = 20√2 m/s

Question 10: easy

A mass m slips along the wall of a hemispherical surface of radius R. The velocity at the bottom of the surface is

1. √Rg
2. 2√Rg
3. √3Rg
4. √2Rg
View Answer

From Principal of conservation of Energy in absence of non-conservative forces,

Ui+ Ki= Uf+ Kf

mgR+0= 0+ ½mv²

v= √2gR
