Possible Short questions in this chapter:
WORK DONE BY CONSTANT FORCE
Define work and its SI unit.
Discuss the conditions when work is positive, negative and zero. OR In what situation work done by a
force on a body is positive, negative and zero?
A person holds a bag of groceries while standing still. A car is stationary with its engine running. How are the
two situations are similar from the point of view of work?[E:4.1]
Calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 10 kg through a vertical height of 10 m.[E:4.2]
In which case is more work done? When a 50 kg bag of books is lifted through 50 cm or when a 50 kg crate is
pushed through a distance of 2 m across the floor with a force of 50 N.[E:4.4]
Calculate the work done in kilo joules when 10 kg crate is pushed through 4m across the floor with a force of 50
N.[Hint: W=FD]
What will be the work done by centripetal force? [Hint: Zero work]
WORK DONE BY A VARIABLE FORCE
What do you mean by variable force? Give its two examples.
How can you find the work done by variable force?
A force F acts through a distance L. The force is than increased to 3F, and then acts through a further distance of
2L. Draw the work diagram and find total work. [E:4.3]
WORK DONE BY GRAVITATIONAL FIELD
Differentiate between conservative and non-conservative force/field. Also give example

Drive the relation between power, force and velocity. OR Prove that P=
ENERGY
State and prove work energy principal. OR Show that the work done on the body is equal
to change its kinetic energy.
Define absolute potential energy and write its relations. OR Define absolute potential energy. Give
its unit.
Define escape velocity. Also write its formula and value. OR Derive mathematical expression for
escape velocity.
An object has 1 J of potential energy. Explain what does it mean?[E:4.5]

from? [E:4.7]

are involved? [E:4.10]
