The energy generated in stars is because of

  1. radioactivity

  2. nuclear fission

  3. nuclear fusion

  4. photo electric phenomenon


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Energy is produced in a star's center, where pressures are enormous and temperatures reach 27 million°F (15 million°C). This causes nuclear fusion—atoms of hydrogen are ripped apart and fuse (join) to form helium. These reactions release vast amounts of energy, which makes the star shine.

What will be the potential energy of a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m ?

  1. 50 J

  2. 0.5 J

  3. 500 J

  4. 25 J


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is C.

Potential energy is energy stored in an object. This energy has the potential to do work. Gravity gives potential energy to an object. This potential energy is a result of gravity pulling downwards. The gravitational constant, g, is the acceleration of an object due to gravity. This acceleration is about 10 meters per second on earth. The formula for potential energy due to gravity is PE = mgh. As the object gets closer to the ground, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. 
In this case, a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m. So the potential energy is given as 5 * 10 *10 = 500 J.
Hence, the potential energy of a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m is 500 J.

When heated, molecules absorb ____ and their capacity to do ____ increases.

  1. Work ,energy

  2. Energy ,work

  3. Heat, work

  4. Energy ,heat


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.

1 kilowatt hour $=$ ___________ .

  1. $10.6 \times 10^6$Joule

  2. $3.6 \times 10^6$Joule

  3. $30.6 \times 10^6$Joule

  4. $3.6 \times 10^5$Joule


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The kilowatt hour is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 watt-hours, or 3.6 megajoule. If the energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of the power in kilowatts and the time in hours.
1 kilowatt hour $= 1000 \times 3600 joule = 3.6 \times 10^{6}\ J$

The capacity of a body to do work is called ______ .

  1. Stamina

  2. Potential

  3. Velocity

  4.  Energy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat energy, kinetic or mechanical energy, light energy, potential energy, electrical energy, or other forms. According to the law of conservation of energy the total energy of a system remains constant, though energy may transform into another form.
The SI unit of energy is the joule (J) or newton-meter (N-m). Joule is also the SI unit of work.

A body at rest have-

  1. Energy

  2. Momentum

  3. Speed

  4. Velocity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A body at rest will have thermal energy, and may even have Potential energy.

kg $m^2S^{-2}$ represents the unit of :

  1. kinetic energy only

  2. work done only

  3. potential energy only

  4. all the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Work done is same as energy which is measured in joules. 1 joule is same as 1 newton expanded over 1 meter which is force multiplied by distance.

Force is defined as mass into acceleration. Hence if we accelerate 1kg mass by 1m/s$^{2}$ in a straight line for a distance of 1 meter, we have indirectly expanded 1 joule of energy .
Also acceleration is distance per second squared.
Thus we have mass $\ast$ acceleration $ast$ distance which is Kg m$^{2}$ S$^{-2}$.

A body at rest can have:

  1. speed

  2. energy

  3. momentum

  4. velocity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If a body is at rest then its position does not changes if position is not changing then $\frac{dx}{dt}=0$ so velocity is zero.

If Instantanious velocity is zero then speed is also zero this means if speed is zero then kinetic energy is also zero.
If v=0 then mv=0 i.e. momentum is also zero.
But a body raised upto some height against gravity and is at rest but it poses some potential energy which when released will be converted to kinetic energy.
So a body at rest can poses only potential energy from all these options.

  1. 1960 J

  2. 980 J

  3. 990 J

  4. 1000 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential energy, $W = mgh$

$h=$ vertical displacement $=5\ m$

$m =$ Mass of object $= 40\ Kg$

$g =$ Acceleration due to gravity $= 9.8\ ms^{-2}$

$W = 40 \times 5 \times 9.8= 1960\ J$

For half way down$=\dfrac{1960}{2}= 980\ J$

At this point i.e. half way object has an equal amount of potential and kinetic energy.

  2. contact force is non-zero

  3. gravity is non-zero

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the man moves on a horizontal surface, then work done by gravity is zero since gravitational force acts perpendicular to the displacement. 


And the normal force will be also perpendicular to displacement so work done by It also is zero. - - - - - - - - 1

But frictional force is acting opposite to displacement so work done by frictional force is negative. - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Using statement (1) and (2) we can say that work done by contact force is non - zero
