Questions Related to energy : forms and sources

A body at rest have-

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Energy

  2. Momentum

  3. Speed

  4. Velocity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A body at rest will have thermal energy, and may even have Potential energy.

kg $m^2S^{-2}$ represents the unit of :

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. kinetic energy only

  2. work done only

  3. potential energy only

  4. all the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Work done is same as energy which is measured in joules. 1 joule is same as 1 newton expanded over 1 meter which is force multiplied by distance.

Force is defined as mass into acceleration. Hence if we accelerate 1kg mass by 1m/s$^{2}$ in a straight line for a distance of 1 meter, we have indirectly expanded 1 joule of energy .
Also acceleration is distance per second squared.
Thus we have mass $\ast$ acceleration $ast$ distance which is Kg m$^{2}$ S$^{-2}$.

A body at rest can have:

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. speed

  2. energy

  3. momentum

  4. velocity

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If a body is at rest then its position does not changes if position is not changing then $\frac{dx}{dt}=0$ so velocity is zero.

If Instantanious velocity is zero then speed is also zero this means if speed is zero then kinetic energy is also zero.
If v=0 then mv=0 i.e. momentum is also zero.
But a body raised upto some height against gravity and is at rest but it poses some potential energy which when released will be converted to kinetic energy.
So a body at rest can poses only potential energy from all these options.

A man carries a heavy box on his head on a horizontal plane form one place to another. In this he does

  1. Energy

  2. Force

  3. Motion

  4. Velocity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Energy and work Energy is the capacity to do work, so option A is best possible answer. 

What is the value of 1 calorie in joules?

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. 9 joules

  2. 4.18 joules

  3. 4.16 joules

  4. 8 joules

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is a fact that

$1\thinspace calorie = 4.184\thinspace J$

The CGS unit of energy is :

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Dyne

  2. Erg

  3. Centimetre

  4. Pascal

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

S.I. unit of energy is $N-m$ which is also known as $joule$ and 


CGS unit of energy is $Dyne-cm$ which is also known as $erg$.

and $1 erg = 10^{-7} J$

So answer to the question is B.

$1eV=$

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. $16\times{10}^{-19}J$

  2. $1.6\times{10}^{-19}J$

  3. $1.6\times{10}^{19}J$

  4. $1.6\times{10}^{-19}erg$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$1eV$ is the energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of $1volt$.
So, $1eV=$ charge of an electron $\times$ $1volt$ $=1.6\times{10}^{-19}coulomb$ ${\times}1volt=1.6\times{10}^{-19}J$

Which physical quantity is measured in $calorie$?

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Heat energy

  2. Displacement

  3. Force

  4. Intensity of sound

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heat energy is usually measured in $calorie$.

$1J=$

physics energy : forms and sources concept of energy energy for everything forms of energy

  1. $4.18calorie$

  2. $2.4calorie$

  3. $0.24calorie$

  4. $100calorie$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Heat energy is usually measured in $calorie$. $1calorie$ is the heat energy required in raising the temperature of $1g$ of water from ${14.5}^{0}C$ to ${15.5}^{0}C$. It is related to $J$ as $1J=0.24calorie$.
