Q1: Define work. When is work zero?

Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of force. Formula: W = F × d × cos θ Where F = force, d = displacement, θ = angle between them Work is zero when force is perpendicular to displacement (θ = 90°) or displacement is zero.

Q2: Calculate work done by a 50 N force displacing an object 10 m in the direction of force.

Step 1: F = 50 N, d = 10 m, θ = 0° Step 2: W = F × d × cos(0°) = 50 × 10 × 1 = 500 J

Q3: Define kinetic energy and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Formula: KE = ½mv² Potential energy is energy stored due to position or configuration. Formula: PE = mgh (gravitational PE) Both measured in Joules (J).

Q4: A 2 kg object moves at 3 m/s. Find its kinetic energy.

Step 1: m = 2 kg, v = 3 m/s Step 2: KE = ½mv² = ½ × 2 × 3² = 1 × 9 = 9 J

Q5: Define power and write its formula.

Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. Formula: P = W/t = E/t Where W = work (J), E = energy (J), t = time (s) Unit: Watt (W) = J/s

Q6: Calculate power if 100 J of work is done in 5 seconds.

Step 1: W = 100 J, t = 5 s Step 2: P = W/t = 100/5 = 20 W
