Question 1.
The law of conversation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only change from one form into another.

Question 1.
A car and a truck have the same kinetic energies at a certain instant while they are moving along two parallel roads. (Assume that the truck is heavier than the car)

1. Which one will have greater momentum?
2. Write the relationship between kinetic energy and linear momentum.
3. If the mass of truck is 100 times greater than that of the car, find the ratio between their velocities.

Answer:
1. Kinetic energy, of car, K.E_c = \(\frac{P_{c}^{2}}{2 m_{c}}\)
Kinetic energy of truck,

Since m_c < m_t
Hence P_t > P_c
∴ momentum of truck is greater than car.

2. KE = P²/2m.

3. KE_c = KE_t
1/2m_c V_c² = 1/2 x m_tV_t²
But m_t = 100m_c
\(V_{t}^{2}=\frac{V_{c}^{2}}{100}\)
Velocity of truck, Vt = \(\frac{V_{c}}{10}\)
ratio of velocity, 10V_t = V_c
10:1.

Question 2.
Raju dropped a rubber ball of mass m from a height h to the ground. He observed that the ball rebounds vertically and along the same line to a height h₁, which is less than h.

1. Is it an elastic or inelastic collision?
2. Find the velocity with which it strikes the ground?
3. If it is replaced by a solid aluminium ball, then what happens to the height of rebound?
4. If the rubber ball is allowed to fall on a spring placed on the ground then what change will Raju notice in the height of rebound?

Answer:
1. Inelastic collision.

2. The velocity with which ball strikes the ground,
v² = u² + 2as
v² = 0 + 2g × h
v = \(\sqrt{2 g h}\).

3. Height of rebound decreases.

4. Height of rebound depends on the state of potential energy stored in the spring. If ball falls on a compressed spring, the height of rebound increases due to potential energy given by the spring to bail.

Question 3.
A man tries to lift a mass 200kg with a force 100N.

1. Is he doing work? Explain.
2. If it is lifted to 2m in 10s, find the power.
3. Show that total mechanical energy is conserved fora freely falling body.

Answer:
1. No. Force required to lift the body is 2000N (w = mg = 200 × 10). But the applied force is 100N. Hence there is no displacement due to this applied force.

2. Power P = \(\frac{w}{t}=\frac{m g h}{t}=\frac{200 \times 10 \times 2}{10}\) = 400 watt.

3.

Consider a body of mass ‘m’ at a height h from the ground.
Total energy at point A
Potential energy at A,
PE = mgh
Kinetic energy, KE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv² = 0
(since the body at rest, v = 0).
∴ Total mechanical energy = PE + KE
= mgh + 0 = mgh
Total energy at the point B
The body travels a distance x when it reaches B. The velocity at B, can be found using the formula.
v² = u² + 2as
v² = 0 + 2 gx
∴ KE at B, = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv²
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) m2gx
= mgx
P.E. at B, = mg(h – x)
Total mechanical energy = PE + KE
= mg(h – x) + mgx
= mgh
Total energy at C
Velocity at C can be found using the formula
v² = u² + 2as
v² = 0 + 2 gh
∴ KE at C, = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mv²
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)m2gh
= mgh
P.E. at C = 0
Total energy = PE + KE = 0 + mgh = mgh.

Question 4.
An elevator of total mass 1800kg is moving up with a constant speed of 2m/s. A frictional force of 400N acts on this motion.

1. The direction of frictional force is______
   • Opposite to direction of motion
   • In the direction of motion
2. What is the work done by gravitational force.
3. What is the total work done by the elevator?

Answer:
1. Opposite to direction of motion

2. w = F × V
w = mg × 2
= 1800 × 10 × 2
w = 36000J

3. P = P_total × V
= (mg + F_fricti0n) × V
= (1800 × 10 + 4000) × 2
= (18000 + 4000) × 2
P = 44000w.

Question 5.
A stone of mass ‘m’ is to be thrown to a height h

1. What is the acceleration of the stone?
2. With what minimum velocity should it be thrown.
3. At what height does the KE and PE become equal?
4. Find the velocity at that height

Answer:
1. ^–g or ^–9.8m/s.

2. v = 0, a = -g, S = h
Substitute this values in
V² = u² + 2as we get
0 = u² – 2gh
u = \(\sqrt{2 g h}\)

3. at \(\frac{h}{2}\)., KE and PE are equal.

4. V² = U² + 2aS
= U² – 2g \(\frac{h}{2}\) (u² = 2gh) = U² – \(\frac{U^{2}}{2}\),
V² = \(\frac{U^{2}}{2}\),
V = \(\frac{U}{\sqrt{2}}\).

x = 10cm.

3. The length of mark will be decreased. Compression of spring depends on spring constant.

Question 2.
The potential energy function fora particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by

Question 5.
A rain drop of radius 2mm falls from a height of 500m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) untill at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10ms^-1?

r = 2 × 10^-3m,
volume = \(\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\) (2 × 10^-3)³ m³
p = 1000kgm^-3,
h = 250m
W= \(\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\) × 8 × 10^-9 × 1000 × 9.8 × 250J = 0.082J
Data reamains unchanged in the next half.

Question 6.
A bullet of mass 0.012kg and horizontal speed 70ms-1 strikes a block of wood of mass 0.4kg and instantly comes to rest with respect to the block. The block is suspended from the ceiling by means of thin wires. Calculate the height to which the block rises. Also, estimate the amount of heat produced in the block.
Answer:
If V be the velocity of the block after collision, the using law of conservation of momentum, we get
0.012 × 70 + 0 = (0.012 + 0.4)V
or V = \(\frac{0.012 \times 70}{0.412}\) ms^-1 = 2.04ms^-1
If h be the height through which block rises, then
(M + m) gh = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (M + m)V²
or h = \(\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}\) or
h = \(\frac{2.04 \times 2.04}{2 \times 9.8}\)m = 0.212m = 21.2 cm
Amount of heat produced in the block = loss of K.E.
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.012 × 70 × 70 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.412 × 2.04 × 2.04
= 29.4J – 0.857J = 28.543J.
