Important Questions on Work and Energy

MEDIUM
Consider a drop of rain water having mass 1 g falling from a height of 1 km. It hits the ground with a speed of 50 m s-1. Take g constant with a value 10 m s-2. The work done by the (i) gravitational force and the (ii) resistive force of air is
EASY
Heat and work done by the heat was discovered by
EASY

Assertion A : The work done by the electrostatic force is zero when a point charge moves in a circular path around another charge.

Reason R : The dot product of force and displacement vectors gives work done.

EASY
The work done to raise a mass m from the surface of the earth to a height h, which is equal to the radius of the earth is:
HARD

A force is applied upon a body of 40 kg then its velocity increases from 1
metre/second to 2 metre/second. Determine work done by the force.

EASY
A particle of mass 10 g is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 20 m s-1. The work done by the gravitational force during the time the particle moves upward is
EASY
Spring constant of a spring is K = 6 ×103 N/m. Work done to stretch it 10-2 m from mean position is
EASY
A force of 40 N acts on a body, and body moves through a distance of 2 metre at an angle of 45° in the direction of the force. The work done by the force is 
HARD
An object of 40 kg mass is moving with 5 m/s velocity. Now force is applied on the object such that its velocity increases to 10 m/s. Calculate the work done by the force.
MEDIUM
A body is displaced by 10 m when maximum work of 200 joules is done on it. Calculate the force acting on this body.
MEDIUM

EASY
Convert 1 kilowatt-hour into joules.
HARD
A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump up water to fill the tank of 30 m3 in 15 min. If the tank is 40 m above the ground, and the efficiency of the pump is 30%, the power consumed by the pump is g=10 m/s2
EASY
A person of mass 50 kg climbs a tower of height 72 m. Calculate the work done. (take g=10 ms2).
EASY

When a body is thrown up, work done by the gravity of the earth on the body is

EASY
A magnetic crane lifts a mass of 1000 kg through a height of 50 m. Calculate the work done by the crane. (Take g=10 ms2)
EASY
