Q1) Fill in the blanks.

a) A bucketful of water is to be drawn from a well Work will be done when a force is applied to
do this, because there will be an displacement of water.
b) If a ball is dropped on the sloping roof of a house, it acquires motion and falls on the ground.
That is transformation of kinetic energy into potential energy takes place.
c) You might have seen some beautiful fireworks during Diwali. It is an example of
transformation of chemical energy into light energy.
d) The solar cooker is an application of the heat energy of the sun, while solar cells, solar lamps
are applications of the light energy of the sun.
e) One labourer carried four pans of road metal through a distance of 100 metres. If he carries
two pans of road metal through a 200 metre distance equal work will be done.
f) The capacity that an object has for doing work is called energy .

Q2) Match the pairs.

a) 1–c
b) 2–e
c) 3–d
d) 4–a
e) 5–b

Q3) Can you tell?

a) When can we say that displacement has taken place?


Answer ;
When the position of an object changes, we say that the object is displaced.

b) What are the various forms of energy?


Anwer ;
Various forms of energy are: mechanical energy, heat energy, light energy, sound energy,
chemical energy and electrical energy.

c) Describe the natural chain of transformation of energy.


Answer ;
1) It is through the process of photosynthesis, the plants makes their own food by using
solar energy.
2) The plant produces their food in the form of chemical energy.
3) This food is used by animals which enables them to develop strength and muscle energy.
4) Therefore, heat energy is produced in the body through the process of digestion.

d) What should be taken into account for measuring work?


Answer :
For measuring work both force and displacement must be taken into account.
e) Why should we save energy?
Answer:
Due to increasing population and increasing use of energy resources, there is a danger that
limited reserves of coal, petrol, etc. will get exhausted.

f) What is ‘green energy’?


Answer ;
1) The energy resources which do not produce smoke and carbon gases such as carbon
dioxide or carbon monoxide are called ‘green energy resources’.
2) Energy from them is called green energy.

g) What are the non-conventional energy resources?


Answer ;
1) have not been used traditionally

2) are inexhaustible and continuous.


3) That can be used in various forms again and again are called non-conventional energy
resources.
4) e.g.: solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, hydal power.

h) Which forms of energy from the sun is used in solar energy devices?
Answer :

1) Heat energy from the sun is used in solar cookers, solar water heaters, solar driers.
2) Light energy from the sun is used in solar cells, solar panels.
3) Solar electric plants have the capacity to produce electricity on large scale.

i) Why should we maximize the use of non- national energy sources?


Answer :
1) Due to increase in population there is increasing use of conventional sources like petrol,
coal, etc. Their reserves are limited and they may get exhausted.

2) Hence, it will be better to use non- conventional sources of energy to save conventional
resources for future.

Q4) Who is the odd-one-out?


a) Diesel, crude oil, natural gas, wind.
b) A running car, hauling a log, a book kept on a table, picking up the school bag.
c) Sunlight, wind, wave, petrol.
d) Leaving the fan on in a vacant room, leaving the TV on while working, using A.C during
winter, putting off the light when going out.

Q5) Find out the types of energy from the following puzzle.

Common questions

Energy conservation is crucial due to the finite nature of traditional resources like coal and petrol, which are depleting rapidly with increased consumption from a growing population. Conservation helps prevent resource exhaustion, ensuring their availability for future generations, and mitigates associated environmental impacts .

Displacement is crucial in determining work completion because, for work to be considered done, there must be a change in position. Without displacement, despite the application of force, work is not completed as energy is not effectively transformed or transferred .

Green energy differs from conventional energy as it does not produce harmful emissions like carbon gases (CO2 or CO), thereby having a lower environmental impact. Conventional sources like coal and petrol contribute significantly to pollution, whereas green energies are sustainable and clean .

The natural chain of transformation of energy illustrates energy conversion starting with photosynthesis, where plants use solar energy to produce food in the form of chemical energy. Animals then consume these plants, converting chemical energy into muscle energy for strength. During digestion, chemical energy is further transformed into heat energy to support bodily functions .

To measure work accurately, both force applied and displacement achieved must be considered. Work is only done when there is movement in the direction of the force, implying that without displacement, no work is accomplished .

In a solar cooker, the form of sun's energy utilized is heat energy. This energy is harnessed to cook food by converting solar heat into thermal energy, effectively utilizing the sun's natural warmth to raise the temperature within the cooker .

Maximizing the use of non-conventional energy resources is recommended because conventional resources like petrol and coal have limited reserves that are being rapidly depleted by the growing population. Utilizing inexhaustible non-conventional resources, such as solar or wind energy, helps conserve these traditional resources for future use .

Non-conventional energy resources are characterized by their inexhaustibility and continuity, unlike traditional fossil fuels. They can be repeatedly used and include solar, wind, tidal energy, and hydal power, offering sustainable alternatives to finite conventional resources .

In a firework display, chemical energy stored in the explosive compounds is transformed into light energy and sound energy upon ignition. This transformation results in the visual spectacle and audible explosions that characterize fireworks .

Solar light energy is harnessed in solar cells and panels to generate electricity, powering devices like solar lamps. Solar electric plants utilize light energy on a large scale to produce electricity, demonstrating diverse applications of solar technology .
