When a rubber-band is stretched by a distance , it exerts a restoring force of magnitude where a and b are constants. The work done in stretching the un stretched rubber-band by is


Important Questions on Work, Power and Energy
Water falls from a height of at the rate of to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional forces are of energy. How much power is generated by the turbine? .

An engine develops of power. The time it will take in lifting a mass of to a height of is:

A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time is proportional to:

An athlete in the Olympic Games covers a distance of in . His kinetic energy can be estimated to be in the range

A shell explodes in mid-air. It's total:

A body is moving at a speed of . A force is required to stop it within a distance . If the speed of the body increases to , then the force required to stop it within the same distance will be:

The relation between the displacement and the time for a body of mass moving under the action of a force is given by , where is in metre and in second. The work done (in joule) by the body in the first two seconds is:

A ball of mass is thrown vertically upward by applying a force by hand. If the hand moves while applying the force and the ball goes up to height further, find the magnitude of the force. Consider .
