### KSEEB Class 9 Science Work and Energy Intext Questions and Answers

Question 1.
A force o*f 7 N acts on an object the displacement is say 8 in in the direction of the force, what is the work done in this case?
F = 7 N,
S = 8 M
W = F x s
= 7 x 8
= 56 joules

Question 2.
When do we say that work is done?
The body displaces in the direction of the applied force.
W = F x s

Question 3.
Write the expression for the work done when a force is acting on an object in the direction of its displacement.
W = force x displacement
W = F x S

Question 4.
Define 1 J of work.
When one newton of force is applied on a body, body displaces 1 meter in the direction of the applied force, then the amount of work done is said to be 1 joule.
Work = force x displacement
W = F x S
One joule = 1 newton x 1 meter

Question 5.

Question 6.
What is the kinetic energy of an object?
The energy possessed by a moving body by virtue of motion is called kinetic energy.

Question 7.
Write on expression for the kinetic energy of an object.
K.E = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ mv2

Question 8.
The kinetic energy of an object of mass in moving with a velocity of 5 ms-1 is 25 J. What will be its kinetic energy when its velocity is doubled? What will be its kinetic energy when its velocity is increased three times?
K.E. = 25 joules
V = 5 m/s
KE = $$\frac{1}{2}$$mv2
∴ $$\mathrm{m}=\frac{2 \mathrm{KE}}{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}=\frac{2 \times 25}{5}$$ = 2kg

Kinetic energy when its velocity is doubled.
V = 10 m/s
$$=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 10^{2}=100 \mathrm{J}$$

Kinetic energy when its velocity is increased by three times.
$$=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 15^{2}=225 \text { joules }$$

Question 9.

The rate of doing work is called power.
$$Power =\frac{\text { Work done }}{\text { Time taken }}$$

In the case of bicycle, muscular energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the bicycle.

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?
When we push a huge rock, then the rock also exerts a huge force on us according to Newton’s third law of motion. The muscular energy spent by us in the process is used to oppose the huge force acting on us due to the rock.

Question 9.
A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy’ during a month. How much energy is this in joules?
Energy consumed = 250 units
= 250 kwh
= 250 x 1000 we have .
= 250 x 1000 x (3600 S)
= 900 x 106 = 9 x 108 J

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 half-way down.
V2 – u2 = 2gh
V2 = 2 x (10) x (2.5)
V2 = 50 m/s2
K.E = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ mv2 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x 40 x 50 = 1000 J
OR
After P.E. half – way down
E = m x g x h = 400 x 10 x 2.5
= 1000 J

When pendulum oscillates in extreme ends. There is a continuous exchange between potential energy and kinetic energy and the sum of two types of energy remains constant. According to the law of conservation of energy. This is true in case there is no loss of energy due to external force.
