MOTION
Motion means movement. The motion of an object is perceived when its position changes
continuously with respect to some stationary object.
DISTANCE
The distance travelled by an object is the length of actual path travelled by the object during
the motion.
DISPLACEMENT
The displacement of an object is the shortest distance travelled between the
position of the object.
tial and final
> When final position coincides with the initial position, displacement is 0 but distance is
not equal to 0.
> Both, the distance and displacement are measure in meter or cm or km.
> Distance is a scalar quantity having only. Displacement is a vector quantity having both
magnitude and direction.
> The distance travelled by an object in motion can never be zero or negative. The
displacement can be positive, zero or negative,

1. A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the
magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds?
Ans. The farmer takes 40 s to cover 4 x 10 = 40 m.
In 2 min and 20 s (140 s), he will cover a distance = Be140= 140m
Therefore, the farmer completes “ =3.5 rounds (3 complete rounds and a half round) of
the field in 2 min and 20 s.
‘That means, after 2 min 20 s, the farmer will be at the opposite end of the starting point.
‘Now, there can be two extreme cases.
Case I: Starting point is a comer point of the field,
In this case, the farmer will be at the diagonally opposite corner of the field after 2 min 20
a
Therefore, the displacement will be equal to the diagonal of the field.
Hence, the displacement will be «/10? +10? = 14.ln
‘Case Ul: Starting point is the middle point of any side of the field.
In this case the farmer will be at the middle point of the opposite side of the field after 2
min 20 s.
Therefore, the displacement will be equal to the side of the field, i.e., 10 m.
For any other starting point, the displacement will be between 14.1 m and 10 m.
2, Which of the following is true for displacement?
{a) It cannot be zero.
{b) Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.
Ans. (a) Not true. Displacement can become zero when the initial and final position of the
object is the same.(b) Not true. Displacement is the shortest measurable distance between the initial and final
positions of an object. It cannot be greater than the magnitude of the distance travelled by
an object. However, sometimes, it may be equal to the distance travelled by the object.
UNIFORM MOTION
A body is said to have a uniform motion if it travels equal distances in equal intervals of time,
no matter how small these intervals may be.
Eg. A vehicle running at a constant speed of 1Onvsec .will cover equal distances of 10metres
every second, so its motion will be uniform.
NON-UNIFORM MOTION
A body is said to have a non- uniform motion if it travels unequal distances in equal intervals.
of time, no matter how small these intervals may be.
Eg. A freely ball from a certain height covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, so
its motion is non uniform.
Non uniform motion is also called accelerated motion.

Speed is a scalar quantity.
Uniform Speed: When a body travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, the speed of
the body is said to be uniform.
Non-uniform Speed: When a body travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, the
speed of the body is said to be non-uniform.

It is measured in m/s? or cm/s” or knVhr’. Acceleration is a vector quantity.
If the velocity of the body increases with time, the acceleration is positive, and the kind of
motion is called accelerated motion. If the velocity of the body decreases with time, the
acceleration is negative (retardation), and the motion is called decelerated motion.
Uniform Acceleration: When velocity of the body changes by equal amounts in equal
intervals of time in a particular direction, the acceleration of the body is said to be uniform.
Non-uniform Acceleration: When velocity of the body changes by unequal amounts in equal
intervals of time in a particular direction, the acceleration of the body is said to be non-

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF MOTION
A graph represents the relation between two variable quantities in pictorial form. It is plotted
between two variable quantities. The quantity that is varied our choice is called independent
variable. The other quantity, which varies as a result of this change, is called dependent
variable. For example, in distance-time graph, time is independent variable and distance is
dependent variable, Similarly, in velocity-time graph, time is independent variable and velocity
is dependent variable.
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPH
The distance-time graph represents the change in the position of a body with time, In this
graph, we take time along the x-axis and the distance along the y-axis. The distance-time graph
under different conditions are shown below.
1. When the body is at rest
The position of the body does not change with time. Its distance from the origin continues
to be same at all instants of time, Therefore, we obtain a straight line parallel to x-axis(time
axis) (see the below figure)

2. When the body is in uniform motion
When an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, it moves with uniform
speed. This shows that the distance travelled by the object is directly
proportional to time taken. Thus, for uniform speed, a graph of distance
travelled against time is a straight line, as shown in below figure. The
portion OB of the graph shows that the distance is increasing at a uniform
rate.

Time (min)
On the graph, AC denotes the time interval (12 — 1) while BC corresponds to
the distance (sz - s;). We can see from the graph that as the object moves
from the point A to B, it covers a distance (s2 - s,) in time (1 — t,). The speed, v
of the object, therefore can be represented as
speed = istance travelled

3. When the body is in non-uniform motion
When a body moves with non-uniform speed it covers unequal distance in equal intervals
of time. The distance-time graph for a body which is moving with non-uniform speed is not
a straight line. It is a curve. The speed of the object will change with respect to time.

VELOCITY-TIME GRAPH
The geometrical relationship between the velocity of an object and the time taken by the object
is called the velocity-time graph.
The velocity-time graph of an object can be drown by taking the time taken along the X-axis
and the velocity along the Y-axis. The ratio of the velocity and the time taken will give the
acceleration of the object. Therefore, the slope of the velocity-time graph gives the acceleration

of the given object. That is, by using this graph one can find the acceleration of an object. The
;-time graph under different conditions are shown below.
1. When the body is moving with uniform velocity
If the object moves at uniform velocity, the height of its velocity-time graph will not
change with time. It will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis. We know that the product
of velocity and time give displacement of an object moving with uniform velocity. The area
enclosed by velocity-time graph and the time axis will be equal to the magnitude of the
displacement.

Time (h)
To know the distance moved by the car between time f; and #2 using the above figure, draw
perpendiculars from the points corresponding to the time f) and f2 on the graph. The
velocity of v knvh is represented by the height AC or BD and the time (2 — 11) is
represented by the length AB. So, the distance s moved by the car in time (2 ~ 1) can be
expressed as
$= AC x CD = (fp — 11) = Area of the rectangle ABDC (shaded portion)
2. When the body is moving with uniform acceleration
In this case, the velocity-time graph for the motion of the car is shown in below figure. The
nature of the graph shows that velocity changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of
time, Thus, for all uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity-time graph is a straight line.Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 8 -

Time (s)
The area under the velocity-time graph gives the distance (magnitude of displacement)
moved by the car in a given interval of time. If the car would have been moving with
uniform velocity, the distance travelled by it would be represented by the area ABCD under
the graph. Since the magnitude of the velocity of the car is changing due to acceleration,
the distance s travelled by the car will be given by the area ABCDE under the velocity-time
graph.
That is,
s= area ABCDE = area of the rectangle ABCD + area of the triangle ADE
= ABxBC+3(AD*DE)

The athlete covers one round of the circular track in 40 s. This means that after every 40 s,
the athlete comes back to his original position. Hence, in 140 s he had completed 3 rounds

He takes 3 rounds in 40 x 3 = 120 s. Thus, after 120 s his displacement is zero,
‘Then, the net displacement of the athlete is in 20 s only. In this interval of time, he moves
at the opposite end of the initial position. Since displacement is equal to the shortest
distance between the initial and final position of the athlete, displacement of the athlete will

FORCE
A force is anything that can cause a change to objects. Forces can:
+ change the shape of an object
+ move or stop an object
+ change the direction of a moving object.
A force can be classified as either contact force or a non-contact force.
‘A contact force must touch or be in contact with an object to cause a change. Examples of
contact forces are:
+ the force that is used to push or pull things, like on a door to open or close it
+ the force that a sculptor uses to turn clay into a pot
+ the force of the wind to turn a windmill
A non-contact force does not have to touch an object to cause a change. Examples of non-
contact forces are:
+ the force due to gravity, like the Earth pulling the Moon towards itself
+ the force due to electricity, like a proton and an electron attracting each other
+ the force due to magnetism, like a magnet pulling a paper clip towards itself
The unit of force is the newton (symbol N). This unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton who first
defined force. Force is a vector quantity and has a magnitude and a direction.
EFFECT OF FORCE:
1. Force can make a stationary body in motion. For example a football can be set to move by
kicking it, ie. by applying a force.
2, Force can stop a moving body — For example by applying brakes, a running cycle or a
running vehicle can be stopped.
3. Force can change the direction of a moving object. For example; By applying force, i.e. by
moving handle the direction of a running bicycle can be changed. Similarly by moving
steering the direction of a running vehicle is changed.
4, Force can change the speed of a moving body — By accelerating, the speed of a running
vehicle can be increased or by applying brakes the speed of a running vehicle can be
decreased.
5. Force can change the shape and size of an object. For example — By hammering, a block
of metal can be turned into a thin sheet. By hammering a stone can be broken into pieces.
Forces are can also divided into two types:
1. Balanced Forces
2. Unbalanced Forces
a
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 32 -BALANCED FORCES
If the resultant of applied forces is equal to zero, itis called balanced forces.
Example : - In the tug of war if both the teams apply similar magnitude of forces in opposite
directions, rope does not move in either side. This happens because of balanced forces in which
resultant of applied forces become zero
Balanced forces do not cause any change of state of an object. Balanced forces are equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction.
Balanced forces can change the shape and size of an object. For example - When forces are
applied from both sides over a balloon, the size and shape of balloon is changed.
UNBALANCED FORCES
If the resultant of applied forces are greater than zero the forces are called unbalanced forces.
‘An object in rest can be moved because of applying balanced forces.
Unbalanced forces can do the following:
Move a stationary object.
Increase the speed of a moving object
Decrease the speed of a moving object.
Stop a moving object.
Change the shape and size of an object.
LAWS OF MOTION:
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION:
‘+ Newton's First Law of Motion - Any object remains in the state of rest or in uniform
motion along a straight line, until it is compelled to change the state by applying
external force.
+ Newton's Second Law of Motion - The rate of change of momentum is directly
proportional to the force applied in the direction of force.
+ Newton's Third Law of Motion - There is an equal and opposite reaction for evrey
action
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION:
‘Any object remains in the state of rest or in uniform motion along a straight line, until it is
compelled to change the state by applying external forc
Explanation: If any object is in the state of rest, then it will remain in rest untill a exernal force
is applied to change its state. Similarly an object will remain in motion untill any external force
is applied over it to change its state. This means all objects resist to in changing their state. The
state of any object can be changed by applying external forces only.
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION IN EVERYDAY LIFE:
a. A person standing in a bus falls backward when bus is start moving suddenly. This happens
because the person and bus both are in rest while bus is not moving, but as the bus starts
moving the legs of the person start moving along with bus but rest portion of his body has
tendency to remain in rest, Because of this person falls backward; if he is not alert.
b. A person standing in a moving bus falls forward if driver applies brakes suddenly. This
happens because when bus is moving, the person standing in it is also in motion along with
bus. But when driver applies brakes the speed of bus decreases suddenly or bus comes in
the state of rest suddenly, in this condition the legs of the person which are in the contact
with bus come in rest while the rest parts of his body have tendency to remain in motion.
Because of this person falls forward if he is not alert
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 33 -MASS AND INERTIA:
The property of an object because of which it resists to get disturbed its state is called Inertia
Inertia of an object is measured by its mass. Inertia is directly proportional to the mass. This
means inertia increases with increase in mass and decreases with decrease in mass. A heavy
object will have more inertia than lighter one.
In other words, the natural tendency of an object that resists the change in state of motion or
rest of the object is called inertia.
Since a heavy object has more inertia, thus it is difficult to push or pul a heavy box over the
ground than lighter one.
INTEXT QUESTIONS PAGE NO. 118
1, Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b)
abicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coil
‘Ans, Inertia is the measure of the mass of the body. The greater is the mass of the body; the
greater is its inertia and vice-versa.
(a) Mass of a stone is more than the mass of a rubber ball for the same size, Hence, inertia
of the stone is greater than that of a rubber ball.
(b) Mass of a train is more than the mass of a bicycle. Hence, inertia of the train is greater
than that of the bicycle
(© Mass of a five rupee coin is more than that of a one-rupee coin. Hence, inertia of the
five rupee coin is greater than that of the one-rupee coin.
2. In the following example, try to identify the number of times the velocity of the ball
changes:
“A football player kicks a football to another player of his team who kicks the football
towards the goal. The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kicks it
towards a player of his own team”. Also identify the agent supplying the force in each case.
Ans. The velocity of the ball changes four times. As a football player kicks the football, its
speed changes from zero to a certain value. As a result, the velocity of the ball gets
changed. In this case, the player applied a force to change the velocity of the ball. Another
player kicks the ball towards the goal post. As a result, the direction of the ball gets
changed. Therefore, its velocity also changes. In this case, the player applied a force to
change the velocity of the ball. The goalkeeper collects the ball. In other words, the ball
‘comes to rest. Thus, its speed reduces to zero from a certain value. The velocity of the ball
has changed. In this case, the goalkeeper applied an opposite force to stop/change the
velocity of the ball. The goalkeeper kicks the ball towards his team players. Hence, the
speed of the ball increases from zero to a certain value, Hence, its velocity changes once
again. In this case, the goalkeeper applied a force to change the velocity of the ball.
3. Explain why some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake its
branch.
‘Ans. Some leaves of a tree get detached when we shake its branches vigorously. This is
because when the branches of a tree are shaken, it moves to and fro, but its leaves tend to
Temain at rest. This is because the inertia of the leaves tend to resist the to and fro motion,
Due to this reason, the leaves fall down from the tree when shaken vigorously.
4. Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall
backwards when it accelerates from rest?
‘Ans. Due to the inertia of the passenger. Every body tries to maintain its state of motion or
state of rest. If a body is at rest, then it tries to remain at rest. If a body is moving, then it
Prepared by: M.S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 34-tries to remain in motion. In a moving bus, a passenger moves with the bus. As the driver
applies brakes, the bus comes to rest. But, the passenger tries to maintain his state of
motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him. Similarly, the passenger tends to fall
backwards when the bus accelerates from rest. This is because when the bus accelerates,
the inertia of the passenger tends to oppose the forward motion of the bus. Hence, the
passenger tends to fall backwards when the bus accelerates forward.
MOMENTUM
Momentum is the power of motion of an object.
‘The product of velocity and mass is called the momentum. Momentum is denoted by ‘p’.
Therefore, momentum of the object = Mass x Velocity.
Or, p=mxv
Where, p= momentum, m = mass of the object and v = velocity of the object
NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION
Newton's second Law of Motion states that The rate of change of momentum is directly
proportional to the force applied in the direction of force.
For example; when acceleration is applied on a moving vehicle, the momentum of the vehicle
increases and the increase is in the direction of motion because the force is being applied in the
direction of motion. On the other hand, when brake is applied on the moving vehicle, the
momentum of the vehicle decreases and the decrease is in the opposite direction of motion
because the force is being applied in the opposite direction of motion.
Mathematical fo ion of Newton cond Law of
Let mass of an moving object = m.
Let the velocity of the object changes from ‘u’ to ‘v’ in the interval of time‘.
This means,
Initial velocity of the object = u.
Final velocity of the object = v.
‘We know that momentum (p) = Mass x velocity
‘Therefore,
‘Momentum (p) of the object at its initial velocity u =m x u = mu
Momentum (p) of the object at its final velocity v= m x v= mv

Thus Newton's Second Law of Motion gives the relation between force, mass and acceleration
of an object.
According to the relation obtained above, Newton's Second Law can be modified as follows:
The product of mass and acceleration is the force acting on the object.
‘The SI unit of Force: Newton (N)
Since Force = Mass x Acceleration
‘The unit of mass = kg and The unit of acceleration = m/s”
If force, mass and acceleration is taken as 1 unit.
Therefore,
1 Newton (N) = Lkg x Im/s?
Thus, Newton (N) = kg mvs"
Equation (iii) can be also written as

This equation is the form of Newton's Second Law of Motion.
According to this equation, Newton's Second Law of Motion can also be stated as follow:
The acceleration produced by a moving body is directly proportional to the force applied over
it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
From the above relation it is clear that
Acceleration increases with increase in force and vice versa.
‘Acceleration decreases with increase in mass and vice versa.
That's why a small vehicle requires less force to attain more acceleration while a heavy vehicle
requires more force to get the same acceleration.
NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION IN EVERYDAY LIFE:
a. A fielder pulls his hand backward; while catching a cricket ball coming with a great speed,
to reduce the momentum of the ball with a little delay. According to Newton's Second Law
of Motion; rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied in the
direction,
b. While catching a cricket ball the momentum of ball is reduced to zero when it is stopped
after coming in the hands of fielder. If the ball is stopped suddenly, its momentum will be
reduced to zero instantly. The rate of change in momentum is very quick and as a result, the
player’s hand may get injured. Therefore, by pulling the hand backward a fielder gives
mote time to the change of momentum to become zero. This prevents the hands of fielder
from getting hurt.

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that there is always reaction for every action in opposite
direction and of equal magnitude.
Explanation: Whenever a force is applied over a body, that hody also appli
equal magnitude and in opposite direction.
Example ~
(a) Walking of a person - A person is able to walk because of the Newton's Third Law of
Motion. During walking, a person pushes the ground in backward direction and in the reaction
the ground also pushes the person with equal magnitude of force but in opposite direction. This
enables him to move in forward direction against the push.
(b) Recoil of gun - When bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet also pushes the gun in opposite
direction, with equal magnitude of force. This results in gunman feeling a backward push from
the butt of gun.
(©) Propulsion of a boat in forward direction — Sailor pushes water with oar in backward
direction; resulting water pushing the oar in forward direction. Consequently, the boat is
pushed in forward direction. Force applied by oar and water are of equal magnitude but in
opposite directions.
CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM -
Law of Conservation of Momentum —The sum of momenta of two objects remains same even
after collision.
In other words, the sum of momenta of two objects before collision and sum of momenta of
‘two objects after collision are equal.

Above equation says that total momentum of object A and B before collision is equal to the
total momentum of object A and B after collision. We observe that the total momentum of the
two balls remains unchanged or conserved provided no other external force acts. As a result of
this ideal collision experiment, we say that the sum of momenta of the two objects before
collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision provided there is no external
unbalanced force acting on them. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum. This
statement can alternatively be given as the total momentum of the two objects is unchanged or
conserved by the collision.
CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM - PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Bullet and Gun — When bullet is fired from a gun, gun recoils in the opposite direction of
bullet. The momentum of bullet is equal to momentum of gun, Since, the bullet is has very
small mass compared to the gun, hence velocity of bullet is very high compared to the
recoil of gun. In the case of firing of bullet, law of conservation of momentum is applied as
usual.

2. Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water
at a high velocity.
‘Ans, Due to the backward reaction of the water being ejected. When a fireman holds a
hose, which is ejecting large amounts of water at a high velocity, then a reaction force is
exerted on him by the ejecting water in the backward direction. This is because of
Newton's third law of motion. As a result of the backward force, the stability of the
fireman decreases. Hence, itis difficult for him to remain stable while holding the hose.

Earth attracts every object towards it. We know that force is the product of mass and
acceleration due to gravity.
This means, F = mx g - i)
‘The force by which earth attracts an object towards it is called the weight of the object, which
is the product of mass (m) of the object and acceleration due to gravity (g).
‘Weight is denoted by ‘W’.
Therefore, by substituting in the expression ‘F = mg’ we get,
Wemxg
Since weight is the force which is acting vertically downwards, therefore, weight has both
magnitude and direction and hence it is a vector quantity.
Since the value of “g' is always constant at a given place,
Therefore, expression ‘W = mx g* can be written as follows:
Wam- -(iil)
This means weight of any object is directly proportional to its mass, ie. weight will increase
with the increase of mass and decrease with decrease in mass,
This is the cause that weight of any object is the measure of its mass.
‘The unit of weight
Since, weight of an object is equal to the force by which an object is attracted towards earth,
therefore, unit of weight is same as the unit of force.
Therefore, Unit of weight is ‘newton (N)’.

3. The kinetic energy of an object of mass, m moving with a velocity of 5 ms“ 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?
Ans: Expression for kinetic energy is E,
m = Mass of the object
v= Velocity of the object = 5 mvs
Given that kinetic energy, Ek = 253
i If the velocity of an object is doubled, then v = 5 x 2 = 10 ms.
Therefore, its kinetic energy becomes 4 times its original value, because it is proportional
to the square of the velocity. Hence, kinetic energy = 25 x 4 = 100 J.
(ii) If velocity is increased three times, then its kinetic energy becomes 9 times its original
value, because it is proportional to the square of the velocity. Hence, kinetic energy = 25 x

> The position of the blue ball is where the Potemial Energy (PE) = 19.61 while the Kinetic

As the blue ball is approching the purple ball position the PE is decreasing while the KE is
increasing. At exactly halfway between the blue and purple ball position the PE = KE.
> The position of the purple ball is where the Kinetic Energy is at its maximum while the

EXERCISE QUESTIONS PAGE NO. 158 AND 159
1. Look at the activities listed below. Reason out whether or not work is done in the light
of your understanding of the term ‘work’.
a). ‘Suma is swimming in a pond.
b). A donkey is carrying a load on its back.
©}. A wind-mill is lifting water from a well.
a). A green plant is carrying out photosynthesis.
e). An engine is pulling a train.
p. Food grains are getting dried in the sun.
2. A sailboat is moving due to wind energy.
Ans:
Work is done whenever the given two conditions are satisfied:
(i) A force acts on the body.
(ii) There is a displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the
direction of force.
(a) While swimming, Suma applies a force to push the water backwards. Therefore, Suma
swims in the forward direction caused by the forward reaction of water. Here, the force
causes a displacement. Hence, work is done by Seema while swimming.
(b) While carrying a load, the donkey has to apply a force in the upward direction, But,
displacement of the load is in the forward direction. Since, displacement is perpendicular to
force, the work done is zero.
(©) A wind mill works against the gravitational force to lift water. Hence, work is done by
the wind mill in lifting water from the well.
(@) In this case, there is no displacement of the leaves of the plant. Therefore, the work
done is zero.
(e) An engine applies force to pull the train. This allows the train to move in the direction
of force. Therefore, there is a displacement in the train in the same direction. Hence, work
is done by the engine on the train.
(f) Food grains do not move in the presence of solar energy. Hence, the work done is zero
during the process of food grains getting dried in the Sun.
(g)Wind energy applies a force on the sailboat to push it in the forward direction.
Therefore, there is a displacement in the boat in the direction of force. Hence, work is done
by wind on the boat.
2. An object thrown at a certain angle to the ground moves in a curved path and falls
back to the ground. The initial and the final points of the path of the object lie on the
same horizontal line. What is the work done by the force of gravity on the object?
Ans: Work done by the force of gravity on an object depends only on vertical
displacement. Vertical displacemem is given by the difference in the initial and final
positions/heights of the object, which is zero.
Work done by gravity is given by the expression,
W = mgh, where, h = Vertical displacement = 0
W=mgx0=03
Therefore, the work done by gravity on the given object is zero joule.

Ans: When a bulb is connected to a battery, then the chemical energy of the battery is
transferred into electrical energy. When the bull receives this electrical energy, then it
converts it into light and heat energy. Hence, the transformation of energy in the given
situation can be shown as:
Chemistry Energy —> Electrical Energy —> Light Energy + Heat Energy
4. Certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 ms to 2m s“,

5. A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A
and B is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by the gravitational force?
Explain your answer.
Ans: Work done by gravity depends only on the vertical displacement of the body. It does
not depend upon the path of the body. Therefore, work done by gravity is given by the
expression,
W=mgh
where, Vertical displacement, h = 0
Therefore, W = mg x 0=0
Hence, the work done by gravity on the body is zero.
6. The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this
violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?
Ans: No. The process does not violate the law of conservation of energy. This is because
when the body falls from a height, then its potential energy changes into kinetic energy
progressively. A decrease in the potential energy is equal to an increase in the kinetic
energy of the body. During the process, total mechanical energy of the body remains
conserved. Therefore, the law of conservation of energy is not violated.
7. What are the various energy transformations that occur when you are riding a
bicycle?
Ans: While riding a bicycle, the muscular energy of the rider gets transferred into heat
energy and kinetic energy of the bicycle, Heat energy heats the rider's body. Kinetic energy
Provides a velocity to the bicycle. The transformation can be shown as:
Mechanical Energy —> Kinetic Energy + Heat Energy
During the transformation, the total energy remains conserved.
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 93 -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?
Ans: When we push a huge rock, there is no transfer of muscular energy to the stationary
rock. Also, there is no loss of energy because muscular energy is transferred into heat
energy, which causes our body to become hot.
9. A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much
energy is this in joules?
Ans: | unit of energy is equal to I kilowatt hour (kWh).
Lunit = 1 kWh
1 kWh = 3.6 x 10°J
Therefore, 250 units of energy = 250 x 3.6 x 10°=9 x 10°J
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,
Ans: Gravitational potential energy is given by the expression,
W=mgh
Where,
fetical displacement = 5 m
Mass of the object = 40 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9,8 ms-2
Therefore, W = 40 x 5 x 9.8 = 1960 J.
1960
‘At half way down, the potential energy of the object will be —— = 980 J
At this point, the object has an equal amount of potential and kinetic energy. This is due to
the law of conservation of energy. Hence, half-way down, the kinetic energy of the object
will be 980 J
11. What is the work done by the force of gravity on a satellite moving round the earth?
Justify your answer.
Ans: Work is done whenever the given two conditions are satisfied:
{i) A force acts on the body,
Gi) There is a displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the
direction of force.
If the direction of force is perpendicular to displacement, then the work done is zero.
When a satellite moves around the Earth, then the direction of force of gravity on the
satellite is perpendicular to its displacement. Hence, the work done on the satellite by the
Earth is zero.
12. Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it?
Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.
Ans: Yes. For a uniformly moving object
Suppose an object is moving with constant velocity. The net force acting on it is zero. But,
there is a displacement along the motion of the object. Hence, there can be a displacement
without a force.
13. A person holds a bundle of hay over his head for 30 minutes and gets tired. Has he
done some work or not? Justify your answer.
Ans: Work is done whenever the given two conditions are satisfied:
(i) A force acts on the body.
Prepared by: M, S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 94-ii) There is a displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the
direction of force.
When a person holds a bundle of hay over his head, then there is no displacement in the
bundle of hay. Although, force of gravity is acting on the bundle, the person is not applying
any force on it. Hence, in the absence of force, work done by the person on the bundle is
zero.
14, An electric heater is rated 1500 W. How much energy does it use in 10 hours?
‘Ans: Energy consumed by an electric heater can be obtained with the help of the
expression, P=™
T
where, Power rating of the heater, P = 1500 W = 1.5 kW
Time for which the heater has operated, T = 10 h
Work done = Energy consumed by the heater
Therefore, energy consumed = Power x Time = 1.5 x 10= 15 kWh
Hence, the energy consumed by the heater in 10 h is 15 kWh,
15. Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which
occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does
the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a
violation of the law of conservation of energy?
‘Ans: The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be neither created nor
destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.
Consider the case of an oscil
When a pendulum moves from its mean position P to either of its extreme positions A or B,
it rises through a height h above the mean level P. At this point, the kinetic energy of the
bob changes completely into potential energy. The kinetic energy becomes zero, and the
bob possesses only potential energy. As it moves towards point P, its potential energy
decreases progressively. Accordingly, the kinetic energy increases. As the bob reaches
point P, its potential energy becomes zero and the bob possesses only kinetic energy. This
process is repeated as long as the pendulum oscillates.
‘The bob does not oscillate forever. It comes to rest because air resistance resists its motion.
The pendulum loses its kinetic energy to overcome this friction and stops after some time.
‘The law of conservation of energy is not violated because the energy lost by the pendulum
to overcome friction is gained by its surroundings. Hence, the total energy of the pendulum
and the surrounding system remain conserved.
