Q1
Easy
A 5 kg object is lifted 2 meters vertically. How much work is done against gravity? (Use g = 10 m/sยฒ)
A. 100 J
B. 50 J
C. 20 J
D. 10 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Work is calculated using the formula Work = Force ร— Distance. The force in this case is the weight of the object (mass ร— gravity), which is 5 kg ร— 10 m/sยฒ = 50 N. The distance lifted is 2 m. Therefore, Work = 50 N ร— 2 m = 100 J.
Q2
Easy
If a car does 2000 J of work while moving a distance of 100 m, what is the average force applied by the car?
A. 20 N
B. 15 N
C. 25 N
D. 10 N
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The average force can be calculated using the formula Work = Force ร— Distance. Rearranging gives Force = Work / Distance. Here, Force = 2000 J / 100 m = 20 N.
Q3
Easy
A ball of mass 0.5 kg is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the ball have at its launch?
A. 100 J
B. 50 J
C. 200 J
D. 25 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula KE = 0.5 ร— mass ร— velocityยฒ. Substituting the values: KE = 0.5 ร— 0.5 kg ร— (20 m/s)ยฒ = 0.25 ร— 400 = 100 J.
Q4
Medium
A box of mass 10 kg is lifted to a height of 5 meters. What is the work done against gravity? (Take g = 9.8 m/sยฒ)
A. 490 J
B. 980 J
C. 4900 J
D. 9800 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The work done against gravity is calculated using the formula W = mgh. Here, m = 10 kg, g = 9.8 m/sยฒ, and h = 5 m. Therefore, W = 10 * 9.8 * 5 = 490 J.
Q5
Medium
A ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 25 m/s. What maximum height will it reach? (Take g = 10 m/sยฒ)
A. 31.25 m
B. 32.5 m
C. 62.5 m
D. 125 m
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The maximum height (h) can be calculated using h = vยฒ / (2g). Substituting v = 25 m/s and g = 10 m/sยฒ gives h = 25ยฒ / (2*10) = 31.25 m.
Q6
Medium
A box of mass 10 kg is lifted to a height of 5 meters. What is the work done against gravity? (Assume g = 9.8 m/sยฒ)
A. 49 J
B. 98 J
C. 490 J
D. 588 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Work done is calculated using the formula W = mgh. Here, m = 10 kg, g = 9.8 m/sยฒ, and h = 5 m. Thus, W = 10 * 9.8 * 5 = 490 J.
Q7
Medium
An object moving with a velocity of 15 m/s has a kinetic energy of 450 J. What is its mass?
A. 10 kg
B. 15 kg
C. 20 kg
D. 25 kg
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Kinetic energy is given by KE = 0.5 * m * vยฒ. Rearranging gives m = 2 * KE / vยฒ. So, m = 2 * 450 / (15)ยฒ = 10 kg.
Q8
Hard
A 10 kg object is lifted vertically to a height of 5 m. Calculate the work done against gravity. (Assume g = 9.8 m/sยฒ)
A. 490 J
B. 980 J
C. 245 J
D. 196 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The work done against gravity is calculated using the formula W = mgh. Substituting m = 10 kg, g = 9.8 m/sยฒ, and h = 5 m gives W = 10 * 9.8 * 5 = 490 J.
Q9
Hard
A 5 kg object is lifted vertically to a height of 10 meters. Calculate the work done against gravity. (Use g = 10 m/sยฒ)
A. 500 J
B. 100 J
C. 50 J
D. 250 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The work done against gravity is calculated using the formula W = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height. Here, W = 5 kg * 10 m/sยฒ * 10 m = 500 J.
Q10
Hard
A spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m is compressed by 0.1 m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring?
A. 1 J
B. 0.5 J
C. 2 J
D. 0.2 J
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The potential energy stored in a compressed spring is given by the formula PE = (1/2)kxยฒ. Here, k = 200 N/m and x = 0.1 m. Thus, PE = (1/2)(200)(0.1)ยฒ = 1 J.
