Answer to: Find the energy in kW h consumed in 10 hours by four devices of power 500 W each.

Power of each device = 500 W Number of devices = 4 Duration of use = 10 h Total energy consumed = 4 × 500 W × 10 h = 20000 Wh = 20 kW h

Answer to: Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

The acceleration of an object can be zero even if several forces are acting on it provided the resultant force (F) is zero. As F = 0, ma = 0 and accor...

Answer to: Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.

Yes. In the absence of any force on the object, i.e. F = 0, ma = 0 (∵ F = ma). Since m ≠ 0, a = 0. In such a case, the object is either at rest or in ...

Answer to: An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is half-way down.

Potential energy of the object = m x g x h = 40 kg x 10 ms-2 x 5 m = 40 x 10 x 5 kg m s-2 = 2000 J Let v be the velocity of the object at half t...

Answer to: A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is this in joules?

Energy consumed = 250 units = 250 kW h = 250 × 1000 W h = 250 × (1000 W) (3600 s) = 250 × 1000 × 3600 W s = 900 × 106 = 9 × 108 J

Answer to: Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it? Where is the energy you spend going?

No transfer of energy takes place when we push a huge rock unsuccessfully. The energy is spent for the physical activity of muscles.

Answer to: A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by the gravitational force? Explain your answer.

Here, the mass of 10 kg is moved horizontally from point A to B. The force of gravity acts vertically downwards. Thus, the mass moves in a direction a...
