The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?
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.
Certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 m s–1 to 2 m s–1. Calculate the work done by the force.
An object thrown at a certain angle to the ground moves in a curved path and falls back to the ground. The initial and the final points of the path of the object lie on the same horizontal line. What is the work done by the force of gravity on the object?
Look at the activities listed below. Reason out whether or
not work is done in the light of your understanding of the
term ‘work’.
• Suma is swimming in a pond.
• A donkey is carrying a load on its back.
• A wind-mill is lifting water from a well.
• A green plant is carrying out photosynthesis.
• Food grains are getting dried in the sun.
• A sailboat is moving due to wind energy.
• An engine is pulling a train.
