    GRADE IX – CHAPTER 11 – WORK AND ENERGY
    ASSIGNMENT 1 - ANSWER KEY

    Q1. What do you understand by transformation of energy? Explain with the help of suitable example?
    Ans. Transformation of energy is the conversion or changing of energy from one form to another. Example
    a. The ball is dropped from edge of cliff. Here the Potential energy of the ball is converted into Kinetic
    energy
    b. In electric motor, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy
    Q2. List two essential conditions for work to be done?
    Ans. a. Force must act
    b. Displacement should happen
    Q3. Define work? Write an expression of work in terms of force and displacement. State SI unit of
    work done?
    Ans. Work done on an object is defined as the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance moved by
    the object in the direction of the applied force.
    W= F x s
    The SI unit of work is joule:
    1joule=1newton×1metre
    Q4. Define energy?
    Ans. An object having capability to do work is said to possess energy.
    Energy has the same unit as that of work
    Q5. Define potential energy? Write an expression for potential energy. Write the SI unit of potential
    energy?
    Ans. The energy possessed by a body due to its change in position or shape is called the potential energy.
    The gravitational potential energy of an object of mass, m raised through a height, h from the earth’s surface
    is given by
    PE=mgh
    SI unit of Potential energy is Joule
    Q6. Define kinetic energy? Write an expression for kinetic energy? Write the SI unit of kinetic
    energy?
    Ans. An object in motion possesses what is known as the kinetic energy of the object. An object of mass, m
    moving with velocity v has a kinetic energy given by
    K=1/2 mv2
    SI unit is Joule
    Q7. Compare the kinetic energies of two objects of masses 10kg anf 50kg respectively but having same
    momentum?
    Ans. Let v1 and v2 be the velocities of 10 kg and 50 kg mass
    As the momentum is same
    10v1=50v2
    or
    v1/v2=5
    Now
    K1=1/2 x 10 x ( v1 ) 2
    K2=1/2 x 50 x ( v2 ) 2
    K1:K2 = 1 x ( v1 ) 2 = 5
    5 ( v2 ) 2
    Q8. What is work done by the force of gravity on a satellite moving round the earth? Justify the
    answer?
    Ans. work done by the force of gravity on a satellite moving round the earth is zero as force of gravity acts
    at right angle(90°) to the direction of the motion of the satellite.So there is no displacement in the direction
    of force
    Q9. Name the two types of mechanical energy? Give two examples when an object possesses both
    types of energies?
    Ans. Potential energy and Kinetic energy.
    a. A body in free fall possess both the Kinetic energy and potential energy
    Q10. Does the gravitational potential energy of a body depend on the path along which the body is
    moved, while going from one point to another? Illustrate your answer with the help of suitable
    example?
    Ans. Gravitational potential energy does not depend on the path along which the body is moved, while going
    from one point to another

    Consider the below figure

    A block is moved from position A to B by two path


    a. AB : Work done againts gravity = mgH
    b. ACDB :
    Workdone on moving the block A to C = zero ( As gravity is perpendicular to motion)
    Workdone on moving from A to D = mgH
    Workdone on moving the block D to B = zero ( As gravity is perpendicular to motion)
    Therefore, total workdone=mgH

    Hence Gravitational potential energy does not depend on the path along which the body is moved, while
    going from one point to another
