Q A 20 kg object falls from a height of 30 meters The amount of kinetic energy that the object will have

just before it hits the ground is joules?

Ans: The kinetic energy of an object is given as .5mv2, where m is the mass of the object, and v is the
velocity of the object. So in this case, we can't determine the kinetic energy directly, but we can
determine the potential energy, which is given by mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitaional
constant, and h is the height above the ground that the object falls from. We know that all of the
potential energy is going to be converted into kinetic energy. So mgh = .5mv2.

(20 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(30 m)= 5880J

Q: A ball is thrown vertically upwards.Neglecting air resistace which statement is correct?

Ans: A By the Principle of conservation of energy, the total energy of the ball is constant throughout the
motion.

It is always pulled by gravity. Its velocity decreases by an amount 9.8 m/s in every second. It is
decelerating.

The distance it goes up is given by the formula h = ut - 0.5gt^2 where u is its initial velocity.

Thus potential energy at any time t is given by the equation

mg [ut - 0.5gt^2] = mgut - 0.5m [gt] ^2

Since it depends on t^2, the increase of P.E is not uniform.

Transformation of Energy

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another. This process is
happening all the time, both in the world and within people. When people consume food, the body
utilizes the chemical energy in the bonds of the food and transforms it into mechanical energy, a new
form of chemical energy, or thermal energy. Energy transformation is an important concept in the
application of the physical sciences. The ability for energy to be transformed automates, lights,
entertains, and warms the world in an astounding multitude of ways.

Describe the energy transformations that occur when you ride a bicycle.?

Ans:When you ride a bicycle, several things happen that require energy and it's transformation. You
pedaling the bike is transforming chemical energy, supplied by the breakdown of the food you eat,
into mechanical energy to turn the pedals. The chemical energy is potential and the mechanical
energy is kinetic.

What is the energy transformation in bell?


Ans:The chemical energy of the battery is transformed into electrical energy to light the lamp. When an
external circuit is completed around the battery, chemical reactions occur inside the cell or cells, and
electric current flows to do the work of heating the filament in the lamp to incandescence. We've got
light. cemical-light-thermal.
