Question 34.
Write the relation between momentum (p) and kinetic energy (E). The K.E. of a body is increased 4 times. What will be the change in momentum?
Answer:
p = \(\sqrt{2 m E}\)
∴ p ∝√E
or
\(\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{E}{4 E}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴p2 = 2p1
Hence, momentum will be doubled.

Work, Energy and Power Class 11 Important Questions Short Answer Type

Question 1.
Explain geometrical meaning of scalar product of two vectors and write its three properties.
Answer:
Geometrical meaning of the scalar product of two vectors : If \(\vec{a} \text { and } \vec{b}\) are the two given vectors and θ is the angle between them, then
\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\) = abcosθ = a(bcosθ) -b(acosθ)
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 1
Now, b cos θ is the components or projection of the vector \(\vec{b}\) in the direction of the vector \(\vec{a}\) and a cos θ is the component of the vector \(\vec{a}\) in the direction of the vector \(\vec{b}\)

Thus, the scalar product of two vectors is equal to the multiplication of the magnitude of one vector and the magnitude of the component or projection of the other vector in the direction of the first vector.

Scalar product of two equal vectors :
\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\) = a.acos0° = a2
\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}\) is also called \(\overrightarrow{a^{2}}\)

\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{a}\) = \(\overrightarrow{a^{2}}\) = a 2
i.e., the dot product of a vector itself is equal to the square of its magnitude.

Properties of the scalar product of two vectors :
(i) The scalar product of two vectors is commutative i.e., the order of the vectors can be interchanged i.e.,
\(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}=\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\)
Proof:
\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\) = ab cosθ
Now, \(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}\) = ba cosθ
⇒ ab cosθ = \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\)

(ii) The scalar product of vectors follows the distributive law in relation to the addition. Thus,
\(\vec{a} \cdot(\vec{b}+\vec{c})=\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}\)

(iii) The scalar product of two vectors follows the multiplicative law in relation to scalar. Thus,
\((m \vec{a}) \cdot \vec{b}=m(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})=\vec{a} \cdot(m \vec{b})\)

MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power

Question 2.
Explain the geometrical meaning of cross product of two vectors and write its properties.
Answer:
Geometrical meaning of vector product of two
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 2
vectors : Let two vectors \(\vec{a} \text { and } \vec{b}\) are represented by the adjacent sides of parallelogram OACB, i.e.,
\(\overrightarrow{O A}=\vec{a} \text { and } \overrightarrow{O B}=\vec{b}\)
Now, draw perpendicular BD from point B, on OA.
Area of parallelogram OACB = OA × BD
= OA × OB sinθ [∵ sinθ = \(\frac{B D}{O B}\)
or
absinθ =\(|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|\)
Hence, modulus of \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}\) represents the area of parallelogram whose adjacent sides are \(\vec{a} \text { and } \vec{b}\).

Properties of vector or cross product of two vectors :
(i) The vector multiplication of two vectors is non-commutative i.e.,
\(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} \neq \vec{b} \times \vec{a}\)
As
\(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=a b \sin \theta \hat{n}\)
and \(\vec{b} \times \vec{a}=a b \sin \theta(-\hat{n})\)
\(=-a b \sin \theta \hat{n}\)
\(=-\vec{a} \times \vec{b}\)

(ii) The vector multiplication of two vectors does not follow the law of association Le.,
\(\vec{a} \times(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \neq(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times \vec{c}\)

(iii) The vector multiplication of two vectors follows the law of association in relation to scalar i.e.,
\(m \times(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})=(m \vec{a}) \times \vec{b}=\vec{a} \times(m \vec{b})\)

(iv) The vector multiplication of two vectors follows the law of distribution in relation to addition i.e.,
\(\vec{a} \times(\vec{b}+\vec{c})=\vec{a} \times \vec{b}+\vec{a} \times \vec{c}\)

(v) If \(\vec{a} \text { and } \vec{b}\) are two non-zero vectors and are parallel also i.e., θ = 0 or π, then ,
sinθ =0
∴ \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}=a b \sin \theta \hat{n}\)
\(=0 \times \hat{n}=\overrightarrow{0}\)
Therefore, the vector product of two parallel vectors is a zero or null vector.

Question 3.
Explain with example work done upon a body and work done by a body.
Answer:
When the displacement of the body is in the direction of external force applied the work is done upon the body and when the displacement is opposite to the direction of force then work is done by the body.
Example: When a stone is thrown vertically upward a force equivalent to its weight is applied upon it in the vertically upward direction, the work is done upon the stone while it fall downward work is done by the stone.

Question 4.
What do you mean by kinetic energy? Derive the expression for it.
Answer:
The efficiency of work done by the motion of a body is called its kinetic energy. Let m = Mass of a body at rest (i.e., u = 0)
F = Force applied on the body.
a = Acceleration produced in the body in the direction of applied force,
ν = Velocity acquired by the body in moving thrown a distance s.
From ν2 -u2 = 2as
ν2– 0 = 2as
or a = \(\frac{v^{2}}{2 s}\)
As F = m.a
∴ F = m\(\left(\frac{v^{2}}{2 s}\right)\)

Work done on the body,
W= Force × Displacement
or W = m\(\left(\frac{v^{2}}{2 s}\right)\) ×s
or W = \(\frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mν2
This work done on the body is measure of kinetic energy (K.E.) of the body.
∴ K.E. = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mν2

MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power

Question 5.
What is work-energy theorem? Prove it.
Or
Write work-energy theorem and prove it for constant force.
Answer:
According to this theorem, the work done by a force is equal to the. change in kinetic energy of a body.
Let a force F is applied on a body of mass m so that its velocity becomes v.
If the body is displaced to distance d, then work done,
W = F.d
But, F = ma
∴ W = mad …(1)
Now, by the equation of motion ν2 = u2 + 2as, we get
2ad=ν2 – u2, ∴ (s =d)
or ad = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(ν2 – u2)
Putting this value in eqn. (1), we get
W = m.\(\frac{1}{2}\)(ν2 – u2)
or W = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mν2 – \(\frac{1}{2}\)mu2
Work done = Change in K.E.

Question 6.
Momentum of a lighter body and heavier body is same, whose kinetic energy will be more?
Answer:
Let a body of mass m moves with a velocity of ν.
∴ Momentum of the body pm = m.ν …(1)
and Kinetic energy of the body K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mν2 …(2)
From eqn(1), ν = \(\frac{p}{m}\)
∴ K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)m.\(\frac{p^{2}}{m^{2}}\)
or
K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)\(\frac{p^{2}}{m}\)
or
P2 = 2Km
or
p = \(\sqrt{2 m K}\) …(3)
Since, momentum of both bodies are same.
∴ From eqn. (3),
mK = Constant
or
K = \(\frac{\text { Constant }}{m}\)
K = \(\frac{1}{m}\)
∴ Kinetic energy of lighter body will be more.

Question 7.
What do you mean by variable force? Derive the expression for the work done by variable force.
Answer:
Variable force : When the magnitude and direction of a force are changing with time then such force is called variable force.
Example :
The gravitational force acting between two bodies depends upon the distance between the bodies, hence it is variable force.

Work done by variable force :
Case 1. Only magnitude of force changes not direction :
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 3
Let a variable force F(x) is applied along the direction of X-axis and body is displaced from x1, to xn in the direction of X-axis.
Graph (a) and (b) show the relation between force F (x) and displacement x.
Now the total displacement can be divided into so many small parts of Δx. As Δx is very small, the force during this displacement may be considered constant.
∴ Work done for the displacement Δx:
ΔW=F.Δx
Now, the work done for the displacement from x1, to xn will be the sum of work done of all displacements such as Δx.
∴ Total work done W = \(\sum_{x_{1}}^{x_{n}}\) F(x)Δx …(1)
If the displacement Δx is very small then the eqn. (1) can be written in the form of integration as
W = \(\int_{x_{1}}^{x_{n}}\)F{x)dx
or W = Area enclosed between the curve and displacement axis.

Case 2. When the magnitude and direction both are changing :
Let a particle is moving in irregular path and the coordinates of initial point are (x1 , y1, z1,) and that of final point are (x2 ,y2 ,z2).
∴ W\(\int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}}\) Fxdx + \(\int_{y_{1}}^{y_{2}}\)Fydy + \(\int_{z_{1}}^{z_{2}}\)Fzdz
Where \(\vec{F}=F_{x} \hat{i}+F_{y} \hat{j}+F_{z} \hat{k}\)

Question 8.
Kinetic energy of a lighter and heavier body are same, whose momentum will be more ?
Answer:
From the formula,
p = \(\sqrt{2 m K}\)
When the kinetic energy of both bodies are same, then
p ∝√ m
or
p2∝m
∴ \(\frac{p_{1}^{2}}{p_{2}^{2}}=\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}\)
Since, m1>m2
∴ p12> p22
∴ Momentum of heavier body will be more than lighter body.

MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power

Question 9.
Derive the expression for gravitational potential energy.
Answer:
Let, m = Mass of the body, g = Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth, h = Height through which the body is raised.
If we assume that height h is not too large and the value of g is practically constant, then the force applied just to overcome gravitational attraction is
F= mg …(1)
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 4
As the distance moved in the direction of the force applied, therefore F h Work done = Force x Distance
or
W = F × h
or
W= mg × h = mgh
Hence, gravitational potential energy = mgh.

Question 10.
Derive the formula for the work done in stretching a spring.
Or
What will be the work done in compressing a spring of force constant k by an amount x?
Answer:
For an ideal spring the force is proportional to the displacement. Hence, the graph between force and displacement is a straight line.
Consider a point A on the force-displacement curve.
∴ The corresponding force of point
A = F = kx
∴ Work done in stretching the spring,
W = Area of Δ ABO
or
W = \(\frac{1}{2}\) OB × AB
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × kx
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)kx2
∴P.E. of stretched spring = \(\frac{1}{2}\)kx2.

Question 11.
What is meant by collision ? Differentiate elastic and inelastic collision.
Answer:
Collision : The striking of one particle with another or an interaction between them is called collision.

For example: Hitting a ball by a bat, striking carrom-coin by a striker, etc.
Difference between Elastic collision and Inelastic collision:

Elastic collision Inelastic collision
1. In this collision, the kinetic energy and the momentum of the system are conserved. 1. In this collision, momentum of the system is conserved but not kinetic energy.
2. Collisions between the atoms, molecules and nuclear particles are the examples of elastic collision. 2. Sticking of the splashed mud, embedding of a bullet in a target are the examples of inelastic collision.

Question 12.
If the momentum of a body is increased by four times, what will be in
crease in its kinetic energy?
Answer:
We know,
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 6
ie., kinetic energy will increase by 16 times.

Question 13.
If the kinetic energy of a body is increased by four times, then what will be
increase in Its momentum?
Answer:
We know,
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 7
i.e., momentum will increase by 2 times.

Question 14.
The sign of work done by a force on a body is important to understand. State carefully if the following quantities are positive or negative:
(a) Work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket
(b) Work done by gravitational force in the above case.
(c) Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane.
(d) Work done by an applied force on a body moving on a rough horizontal plane with uniform velocity.
(e) Work done by the resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.
Answer:
We know that the work done is given by W = F.s = Fs cos θ, where θ = smaller angle between force F and displacement s.
(a) To lift the bucket, force equal to the weight of the bucket has to be applied vertically upwards and the bucket moves along the same direction, thus 0 – 0, so W= FscosO = Fs i.e., positive.

(b) Here as the bucket moves in a direction opposite to the gravitational force which always acts vertically downwards.
∴ θ = 180°, so W= Fs cos 180° = Fs (- 1) = -Fs
i.e., W = negative.

(c) Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is negative as friction opposes the relative motion,
Thus, θ = 180° ∴ W = Fs cos 180° = – Fs.

(d) As the body moves in the same direction in which the force is applied, so e = 0, thus W=Fs cos 0° = Fs i.e., it is positive.

(e) Work done is negative as the direction of the resistive force of air on the vibrating pendulum is opposite to the direction of displacement {i.e., motion) of the bob.

MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power

Question 15.
What do you mean by positive, negative and zero work? Give one example of each.
Answer:
Positive work:
When the angle between force and displacement is zero or acute angle then the work is positive.
Examples :

  • When a bucket of .water from a well is pulled, the directions of force and displacement are same and hence positive work is done.
  • A body falling freely under gravity. Then work done by gravity force is positive.

Negative work :
When the angle between force and displacement is 180° or obtuse angle then the work done is negative.
∴ Fs cos 180° = -Fs
Examples :

  • When a bucket full of water is pulled from the well, the work done by the gravity force is negative, because the directions of force of gravity and displacement are opposite, (gravity acts downwards and displacement up).
  • The work done by the friction force on an inclined plane is negative.

Zero work:
If the force applied is perpendicular to its displacement, then the work is
zero.
W = Fs cosθ = Fs cos 90° = 0
Examples :

  • A coolie carrying suitcase on his head. The work done against gravity is zero.
  • A body moving in circular motion. The centripetal force is perpendicular to its velocity. Hence, the work done by the centripetal force is zero.

Question 16.
A lighter body moving with velocity u. Collide with a heavy body at rest. What will be its velocity after collision?
Answer:
Let the velocity of lighter body (mass m) be ν1 and the velocity of heavy body (mass M) be ν2 after collision.
∴ From laws of conservation of momentum,
m u = m ν1+ Mν2 and For elastic collision
ν1 – ν2, = -(u – 0)
or
ν2 – ν1
On solving,
ν1 = \(-\left(\frac{M-m}{M+m}\right)\) u
and ν2 = \(\frac{2 m u}{(M+m)}\)
If m<< M, then
ν1 = -u and ν2 = 0.

Question 17.
(a) An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth?

(b) In fig.-given below
(i) the man walks 2m carrying a mass of 15 kg on his hands. In fig.
(ii), he walks the same distance pulling the rope behind him. The rope goes over a pulley and a mass of 15 kg hangs at its other end. In which case is the work done greater?
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 8
Answer:
(a) When an artificial satellite comes closer to earth, its gravitational P.E. decreases (as its height from the earth surface decreases). By law of conservation of energy, the sum of kinetic and potential energy should remain constant. To keep the total energy constant, kinetic energy should increase and so, velocity of satellite should increase. But, total energy of satellite continuously decreases at a very small rate due to atmospheric resistance.

(b) In case (a) : No work is done against gravity as the displacement of 2m (horizontal)
and the weight of 15 kg (acting vertically downwards) are perpendicular to each other
(θ=90°),
W = Fs cos 90° = 0.
In case (b): Work is done against gravity

Question 1.
Two bodies of masses m1and m2 are moving in straight line with velocities
u1 and u2 respectively, collide each other. After collision calculate the velocities of the bodies. What will happen ¡f:
(i) The masses of the bodies are equal.
(ii) One of the body is at rest.
(iii) Lighter body is at rest.
(iv) Heavier body is at rest.
Answer:
Consider two bodies A and B of masses m1and m2 moving with velocities u1 and u2 (u1> u2) in the same direction.
After collision the bodies move in the same direction with velocities ν1 and ν2 respectively.
The collision is perfectly elastic, hence the momentum and K.E. of the system will be
conserved.

As the momentum is conserved:
Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1ν1 + m2ν2
or
m1u1 – m1ν1 = m2ν2 – m2u2
or
m1(u1 – ν1)=m22 – u2) …(1)

As the K.E. is conserved :
K.E. before collision K.E. after collision
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 9
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 10
or
u1+ ν1 = ν2 + u2
or
u1 – u2 = ν2 – ν1, =-(ν1 – ν2) … (3)
So, relative velocity before collision = – (Relative velocity after collision) i.e., The direction of relative velocity is reversed after collision.

Calculation of velocities after collision :
(i) Velocity of A: From eqn. (3), we have
ν2 = u1 – u2 + ν1
Putting the value of ν2 in eqn. (1), we get
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 11
(ii) Velocity of B : From eqn. (3), we have
ν1 = ν2 + u2 – u1
Putting the value of ν1 in eqn. (1), we get
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 12

Case (i) : When m1 = m2
Then, from eqn. (4), ν1 = u2
and from eqn. (5), ν2 = u1
Hence, when the mass of the bodies are equal then they interchange their velocities after collision.

Case (ii) : m2 is rest i.e., u2 = 0
Then, from eqn. (4), ν1 = \(\left(\frac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\right)\)u1 …(6)
and From eqn. (5), ν2 = \(\left(\frac{2 m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\right)\)u1 …(7)
If m1=m2=m, then
From eqn. (6), we get ν1 = 0
and From eqn. (7), ν2 = u1
Thus, when the masses are equal and one body is at rest, then after collision second body comes to rest and first body gains the velocity of second.
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 13

Case (iii): If m2 << m1], then from eqn. (6), we get
ν1 = u1
and From eqn. (7), we get ν2 =2u1
Thus, when heavier body collide with lighter body then heavier body moves with same velocity by lighter gains the velocity double of heavier body.

Case (iv): If m1 << m2], then
From eqn. (6), ν1 = u1
and From eqn. (7), ν2 = \(\frac{2 m_{1}}{2 m_{2}}\)u1 = 0
When lighter body collide with heavy body then heavy body remains at rest and lighter body rebounds with same velocity.

MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power

Question 2.
Prove that in inelastic collision in one dimension, always energy is lost. Derive the expression for the loss of energy.
Answer:
Consider a body A of mass m1, and another body B of mass m2 which are moving in the same direction with velocities u1 and u2 (u1 > u2). Both collide and stick together and move with common velocity ν.

Now, in inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved, i.e.,
Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2
∴ ν = \(\frac{m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\) …(1)
Now, K.E. before collision is
K1 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) m1u1… (2)
and K.E. after collision will be
K2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (m1 + 22 …(3)
Putting the value of ν from eqn. (1), we get
K2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (m1 + 2)\(\left(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\right)^{2}\)
u12 [∵ u1 >u2
or
K2 = \(\frac{1}{2\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right)}\) …(4)
From eqns. (2) and (4), we.get
\(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}}=\frac{m_{1}+m_{2}}{m_{1}}\)
∵ m1 < (m1 + m2
∴ K1 > K2
Hence, after collision the K.E. of the system decreases.
Now, loss of energy, Δ K =K1 – K2

Question 3.
A truck and a car are moving with same kinetic energy, which will stop first
(i) Both are stopped by applying same retardation force.
(ii) Brake is applied at same time on both.
Answer:
(i) K.E. = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mν2 =F. s
or
s = \(\frac{\text { Kinetic energy }}{\text { Retarding force }}\)
Since, kinetic energy of both are equal therefore distance travelled by both before stopping will also be equal i.e., both will get stopped at same time.

(ii) After applying brake both will stop due to friction force.
Then \(\frac{1}{2}\)mν2 = F.s = (µR)s = µ.mg.s
or
s∝ν2
Since kinetic energy of both are same.
∴ ν2 ∝ \(\frac{1}{m}\)
∴ s ∝ \(\frac{1}{m}\)
i.e.; Whose mass is more, less distance will be travelled before stopping. Therefore truck will stop first than car.

Question 4.
Two Identical spring A and B of which spring B is harder than spring A if
(i) Both are extended to same distance then upon which spring more work has to be done?
(ii) Both are extended by applying same force then upon which more work has to be done?
Answer:
Since spring constant k of hard spring is more
∴ Work = \(\frac{1}{2}\) kx2 = \(\frac{F^{2}}{2 k}\)
(i) For same displacement,
WA = \(\frac{1}{2}\)kAx2
and WB =\(\frac{1}{2}\)kBx2
Since kA > kB
∴ WA > WB
∴ More work has to be done on first spring A.

(ii) For same force,
WA = \(\frac{F_{A}}{2 k_{A}}\)
and WB = \(\frac{F_{B}}{2 k_{B}}\)
Since kA >k B
∴ WB > WA
Therefore more work has to be done on spring B.

Question 5.
A truck and a car are moving with the same kinetic energy are stopped by applying brakes of same retarding force. Which one will stop at a lesser distance?
Answer:
Let the mass of car and truck be m1 and m2and velocity be u1 and u2.
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\)m1u12 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)m2u22
or
\(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\frac{u_{2}^{2}}{u_{1}^{2}}\) …(1)
If retardation ¡s a1 and a2 on applying brakes, then
m1 a1 = m2 a2
or
\(\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}\) …(2)
From eqns. (1) and(2),
\(\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}=\frac{u_{2}^{2}}{u_{1}^{2}}\)
or
\(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{a_{1}}=\frac{u_{2}^{2}}{a_{2}}\) …(3)
Ifs1 and s2 be the distance travelled before stopping, then 0 = u12 – 2a1s1
s1 = \(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{2 a_{1}}\) and s2 = \(\frac{u_{2}^{2}}{2 a_{2}}\)
From eqn. (3),
s1 = s2
i.e, Both will stop arc travelling same distance.

Question 6.
What is elastic collision in two dimensions? After collision, what will be the velocities of the bodies?
Answer:
When the collision takes place on a plane and momentum and K.E. of the system is conserved, then the collision is called elastic collision in two dimensions.
Let A and B are two bodies of masses m1 and m2, moving along X-axis with the velocities u1 and u2 (u1 > u2) respectively and they collide elastically.
MP Board Class 11th Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Work, Energy and Power 14

After collision, let A and B make angles θ1 and θ2 with the X-axis and move with velocities ν1 and ν2 respectively as shown in the figure.
As the collision is elastic, the K.E. of the system will be conserved.
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\)m1u12 +
\(\frac{1}{2}\)m2u22 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)m1ν12 + \(\frac{1}{2}\)m2ν22 …(1)

Now, before collision, the momentum of A and B along X-axis
= m1u1+m2u2
and After collision, momentum along X-axis
= m1ν1 cosθ1 + m2ν2 cosθ2
Again, momentum along Y-axis before collision = 0
and Momentum along Y-axis after collision = m1ν1 cos?1 + m2ν2 cosθ2
As the momentum is conserved. Therefore along X-axis,
m1u1 +m2u2 = m1ν1 cosθ1 + m2ν2 cosθ2 …(2)
and Along Y-axis,
0 = m1ν1 sinθ1 + m2ν2 sinθ2
∴ m1ν1 sinθ1 = – m2ν2 sinθ…(3)
Solving eqns. (1), (2) and (3), we can determined the values of ν1 ν2, θ1 (or θ2).

Question 1.
If \(\vec{A}=2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+p \hat{k} \text { and } \vec{B}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) are perpendicular, then find the value of p
Solution:
Given : \(\vec{A} \text { and } \vec{B}\) are perpendicular
∴ \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) = 0
or
\((2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+p \hat{k}) \cdot(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})\) = 0
∴ 2.2 + 2.(-1)+p.(1) = 0
or
4 – 2 +p = 0
or
p = – 2.

Question 2.
If vector \(\vec{A}=5 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+k \text { and } \vec{B}=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\) then find the vector product
\(\vec{A} \times \vec{B}\)
Solution:
Given :\(\vec{A}=5 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}, \vec{B}=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)
∴ \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
5 & -1 & 1 \\
2 & -3 & -4

= \(\hat{i}\)[(-1 × -4) – (1 × -3)] –\(\hat{j}\) [(5 × -4)-2 × 1] + \(\hat{k}\) [(5 × -3) – (2 × -1)]
= \(\hat{i}\)[4 + 3] – \(\hat{j}\)[-20-2] + \(\hat{k}\)[-15 +2]
= \(7 \hat{i}+22 \hat{j}-13 \hat{k}\)

W = \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{s}\)
= \((3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+9 \hat{k}) \cdot(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+8 \hat{k})\) = 3.3 + (-4.4) + 9.8
= 9-16 + 72
or
W = 65 joule.

Question 4.
The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position .4 as shown in the figure. If the length of the pendulum is 1-5 m, what is the speed with which the bob arrives at the lower most point B, given that it dissipated 5% of its initial energy against air resistance?
Solution:
At point A, the energy of the pendulum is entirely P.E. At point B, the energy of the pendulum is entirely K.E. It means that as the bob of the pendulum lowers from A to B, P.E. is converted into K.E. Thus, at B, K.E = P.E. But 5% of the P.E. is dissipated against air resistance.
K.E.atB = 95% of P.E.at A
m = Mass of bob
ν = It speed at B,
h = Height of point A w.r.t. B

or
ν = \(\sqrt{\frac{19 \times 9 \cdot 8 \times 1 \cdot 5}{10}}=\sqrt{27 \cdot 93}\)

Question 5.
A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump up water to fill a tank
of value 30 m in 15 min. If the tank is 40 m above the ground and the efficiency of the pump is 30% how much electric power is consumed by the pump?
Solution:
Mass of water to be pumped up,
m = Volume × Density of water ‘
= 30 × 103 = 3 × 104kg
Height of the tank, h =40 m
∴ Work done by the pump to fill the tank,
W= mgh = 3 × 104 × 9.8 × 40 J
= 1.176 × 107 J
Time t =15 minutes = 15 × 60 s = 900 s
∴ Required power, P = \(\frac{W}{t}=\frac{1 \cdot 176 \times 10^{7}}{900}\) = 13.07kW
Efficiency of pump = 30%
Now η% = \(\frac{\text { Output power }}{\text { Input power }}\) × 100
or
Input power = Power consumed by the pump
= \(\frac{\text { Output power }}{\eta \%}\) × 100
= \(\frac{13 \cdot 07}{30}\) × 100 = 43.55kW
= 43.6kW.

Question 6.
A body constrained to move along Z -axis of a coordinate system is subjected to a constant force \(\vec{F}\) given by
\(\vec{F}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \mathbf{N}\)
where \(\hat{i}\), \(\hat{j}\) and \(\hat{k}\) are the unit vector along the X, Y and Z -axis of the system respectively. What is the work done by this force in moving the body a distance of 4 m along the Z -axis?
Solution:
Since, the body is displaced 4 m along Z -axis only
∴ S = \(4 \hat{k}=(0 \hat{i}+0 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})\)m
Also F = \(-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\)
∴ Work done (W) is given by,
W = F.S .
= \((-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(0 \hat{i}+0 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})\)
= (-1)× 0 + 2 × 0 + 3 × 4
= 12 J.

Question 7.
A body of mass 0.5 kg travels in a straight line with velocity ν = ax3/2 where
a = 5m-1/2 s-1What is the work done by the net force during its displacement from x = 0 to x= 2 m ?
Solution:
Here, m = 0.5 kg, ν = ax3/2, a = 5m-1/2 s-1
Let F = net force acting on the body and producing an acceleration a’ in it
∴ F =ma = m\(\frac{d v}{d t}\)
If dW be the work done by F in displacing the body by dx,
Then dW = Fdx = m\(\frac{d v}{d t}\)dx
= mdν.\(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = mdν(ν)
= mνdν …(1)
If W be the total work done in displacing the body from x = 0 to x = 2m, then integrating eqn. (1), we get
W = ∫dW = m∫νdν = m\(\frac{v^{2}}{2}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} m\left(a x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)^{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)m × a2x3
Putting x = 2-0 = 2m,a = 5,m = 0.5, we get
W = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.5 ×(5)2 × (2)3
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 25 × 8 = 50J

Question 8.
Power of a machine is 2 kilowatt. What will be the work done by it in 5 minute?

Therefore work done, W = Power × t
or W= P × t
or W = 2000 × 300 = 6 × 105 joule.

Question 9.
What will be the work done to raised a body of mass 10 kg through a height of 10 metre?
Solution:
Given : m = 10 kg, h = 10 metre, g = 9.8 m/s2
Therefore work done W = Potential energy
or W= mgh
or W=10 × 9.8 × 10
or W= 980joule

Question 10.
The power of pump is 7.5 kilo watt. How much water, per minute will be raised to a height of 25 m ?
Solution:
Given: P= 7.5 kilo watt = 7.5 × 103watt,g = 10 ms-2
h = 25 m, t = 1 min = 60s.
Now P = \(\frac{\mathrm{W}}{t}=\frac{m g h}{t}\)
m = \(\frac{P \times t}{g h}\)
or
m = \(\frac{7 \cdot 5 \times 10^{3} \times 60}{10 \times 25}\)
= 1.8 × 103 =1800 kg.

Now \(\frac{1}{2}\)kx2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) ×100 ×(0.5 × 10-2)2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 100 × 0.25 ×10-4

or
ν2 = 2gh
or
ν = \(\sqrt{2 g h}\)
Putting the value, we get
ν = \(\sqrt{2 \times 9 \cdot 8 \times 4 \cdot 9}\)
or
ν = 9.8 m/s.

or
k = \(\frac{2 \times 0.5}{(0-1)^{2}}=\frac{2 \times 5 \times 10 \times 10}{1 \times 1 \times 10}\)
or
k = 100 newton/metre.

Question 19.
A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. What is the height up to which the ball will rebound if the loss of energy on striking the surface is 40%.
Solution:
Initial Potential energy of ball = mgh
On striking ground surface its energy get loss by 40% i.e., 60% energy remains.
∴ Kinetic energy after striking surface = \(\frac{60}{100}\)mgh1
If the ball rebound to height h2, then
\(\frac{60}{100}\) × mgh1 = mgh2
or
h2 = \(\frac{60}{100}\) h1
or
h2 = \(\frac{60}{100}\) × 10 = 6 metre
