The kind of energy present in fossil fuels is :

  1. chemical energy

  2. heat energy

  3. potential energy

  4. mechanical energy

Fossil fuels are mainly comprised of hydrocarbons. Energy is trapped in the form of chemical energy. When fossil fuels are burnt, chemical energy is converted into heat energy.

Coal is a renewable source of energy.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coal is a fossil fuel. Once it is burnt, it turns to ashes and can never be used again.

State whether given statement is True or False
In hydroelectric plants, the kinetic energy of flowing water drives the generator. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hydroelectric energy, also referred to as hydroelectricity or hydropower, is the use of moving water to produce electricity. This power is generated by converting the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical and then electrical energy. This process involves the use of turbines, which consist of a set of blades. The moving water flows over the blades, causing them to turn. The blades are connected to a rotating drive shaft. The mechanical energy of the drive shaft is transferred to a generator through a gearbox. The generator uses the mechanical energy of the drive shaft to move an electric conductor (typically coils of copper wire) through a magnetic field, which causes electrons to flow through the conductor, generating electricity. The electricity is then fed into the electrical grid to be used in homes, businesses, and by industry.
Hence, the statement is true.

Coal and petroleum are called fossil fuels.      

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

It is because they are actually fossils. They are made of dead and decay matter buried under the earth for many years. The dead and decaying matter under great amount of pressure and temperatures turn into fossils and they both are used as fuels so it is called fossil fuels.
The fossil fuels we use today are actually formed from plants and animals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. The reason there is a lot of concern surrounding the expenditure of these resources is because most of what we use today from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal are being depleted much faster than they can be formed, so there is a limited amount available.
Hence, the statement is true.

The fossil fuels include:

  1. Uranium

  2. Soil

  3. Natural gas

  4. Plants


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fossil fuels are formed when plants and marine species are buried below ground and are subjected to immense pressure and temperature for thousands of years. Examples include coal, petroleum and natural gas.

A body is falling freely under the action of gravity alone in vacuum. Which of the following quantities remain constant during the fall?

  1. Kinetic energy

  2. Potential energy

  3. Total mechanical energy

  4. Total linear momentum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
As the body is falling freely under gravity, the potential energy decreases continuously and kinetic energy increases continuously as all the conservative forces are doing work. So, total mechanical energy $(PE + KE)$ of the body will be constant.
At point A total mechanical energy will be $EA = K.E + P.E$
$E _{A}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}+m _{g}H$
As velocity will be zero at $A$, so its kinetic energy will be zero 
$E _{A}=M _{g}H$
Velocity at point $B$ will be 
$V _{B}=\sqrt{2gh}$
So energy at point $B$ will be 
$E _{B}=KE+PE$
$E _{B}=\dfrac{1}{2}m(2gh)+mg(H-h)$
$E _{B}=mgh+mgH-mgh$
$E _{B}=mgH$
Now velocity at point $C$ will be 
$V _{C}=\sqrt{2gh}$
So energy at point $C$ will be
$ E _{C}=KE+PE$
$E _{C}=\dfrac{1}{2}m(2gH)+mg(0)$
So, total mechanical energy will remain same (if we neglect the air friction).

While falling

  1. Potential energy

  2. Kinetic energy

  3. Both A & B

  4. None


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

While it is falling it has certain velocity,as kinetic energy is defined as the virtue of its state of motion it will have kinetic energy.As it is at certain height it will have Potential energy which is defined by virtue of state of its position.Hence ball has both potential and kinetic energy.

A body rolling down a hill has

  1. K.E. only

  2. P.E. only

  3. Neither K.E. nor P.E

  4. Both (a) and (b)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While rolling down from hill a body will have some Potential energy due to height wrt to ground and due to rolling it will have some Kinetic energy .As it will keep rolling down , Its PE will change into KE

So $E _{Total}=mgh+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}$

A flying aeroplane has:

  1. only potential energy

  2. only kinetic energy

  3. both potential and kinetic energy

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An flying aeroplane required some work to be done against gravity to go upto that much height that work will be stored as potential energy of the body. Also aeroplane has some mass and moving with some velocity so has some kinetic energy also. 

So this poses both potential as well as kinetic energy.

A body rolling down a hill has:

  1. K.E. only

  2. P.E. onley

  3. neither K.E. and P.E.

  4. both K.E and P.E


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Taking toe of the hill as refrence point so some work against the gravity is done to raise the body to top of the hill so it poses some potential energy equal to mgh where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity and h is vertical height.

Also he is moving so he must have some kinetic energy.
So body rolling along the hill have both kinetic as well as potential energy.

Which of the following has both kinetic energy and potential energy ?

  1. A flying bird

  2. A bent bow about to shoot an arrow

  3. An athlete running at full speed

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since the bird is flying is must be at some distance from the ground and Potential energy is present when there is some height associated with that object (Since P.E = mgh). Also  the bird has mass and thus gravity will be acted on it. Kinetic energy is present for an object if it has velocity.This a flying bird has both kinetic energy and potential energy.

A good source of energy would be the one which would do a _______ amount of work per unit volume of mass. Any source of energy we use to do work is consumed & _______ used again.

  1. larger, can be

  2. smaller, can be

  3. larger, cannot be

  4. smaller, cannot be


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A good source of energy would be the one which would do a larger amount of work per unit volume of mass. Any source of energy we use to do work is consumed & cannot be used again.
A good source of energy should have the following characteristics:
  1. It should do a large amount of work per unit mass or volume - it means that the output energy must be more than the input energy. It should have high calorific value.
  2. It should be easily accessible - the energy source should be able to provide energy over a long period of time. Example: coal and petroleum.
  3. Should be easy to store and transport - most common sources of energy such as coal, petrol and LPG need to be transported to users from their points of production. They also need proper storage. Thus it is important to store and transport these sources safely and economically.
  4. Safe and convenient to use - energy sources should be safe as it is used by a large number of people and should be convenient.
