HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 1

A ring of mass 200 gram is attached to one end of a light spring of force constant 100 N/m and natural length 10 cm. The ring is constrained to move on a rough wire in the shape of the quarter ellipse of the major axis 24 cm and the minor axis 16 cm with its centre at the origin. The plane of the ellipse is vertical and wire is fixed at points A and B as shown in the figure. Initially, ring is at A with other end of the spring fixed at the origin. If normal reaction of wire on ring at A is zero and ring is given a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s towards right so that it just reaches point B, then select the correct alternative (s) (g = 10 m/s2)

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 1

∴ Spring is compressed by 2 cm at A and will be stretched by 2 cm at B.
By work-energy theorem,
Wmg + Ws + WN + Wf = Kf − Ki
0.16 + 0 + 0 + Wf = 0 - 10
Wf = -10.16 J

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 2

A particle is kept at rest at the top of a sphere of diameter 42 m. When disturbed slightly, it slides down. At what height h from the bottom, the particle will leave the sphere?

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 2


Given: D = 2R = 42m, R = 21m
h = R(1 − cosθ)
From the 3rd equation of motion,

v= u+ 2gh
v= 2gR(1−cosθ)  ...(1)

From the free body diagram:


When contact lost, N = 0, equation (2) becomes:

mgcosθ = 2mg(1−cosθ)
cosθ = 2−2cosθ
3cosθ = 2
cosθ = 2/3​

 2R − h = 2R − R(1−cosθ)
2R − h = 2R − R(1−2/3​)
5R/3​ = 5/3 ​× 21 = 35m

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 3

A uniform chain has a mass M and length L. It is placed on a frictionless table with length l0 hanging over the edge. The chain begins to slide down. The speed V with which the chain slides away from the edge is given by:

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 3
  • Since the given chain is uniform we can find the mass of the hanging part of the chain if we define some quantity lambda as mass per unit length and then multiplying it with the length of the hanging part of the chain.
  • Also, while applying the energy conservation equation for extended bodies (like chain, etc) we need to consider the energies (both kinetic and potential) of the center of mass only. We will consider the dotted line as a reference line while applying energy equation.

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 4

A particle is dropped from a height h. A constant horizontal velocity is given to the particle.
Taking g to be constant every where, kinetic energy E of the particle with respect to time t is correctly shown in

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 4
  • As the particle is projected with some velocity, therefore, its initial kinetic energy will not be zero.
  • As it moves downward under gravity then its velocity increases with time K.E. ∝ v2 ∝ t2 (As υ ∝ t) 
  • So the graph between kinetic energy and time will be parabolic in nature. 
HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 5

A particle moves on a rough horizontal ground with some initial velocity say v0. If (3/4)th of its kinetic energy is lost due to friction in time t0 then coefficient of friction between the particle and the ground is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 5

3/4 th energy is lost i.e. 1/4 th kinetic energy is left.

Hence its velocity  becomes v0/2 under a retardation of μg in time t0.

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 6

A block weighing 10 N travels down a smooth curved track AB joined to a rough horizontal surface (figure). The rough surface has a friction coefficient of 0.20 with the block. If the block starts slipping on the track from a point 1.0 m above the horizontal surface, the distance it will moves on the rough surface is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 6

Let the velocity at point B be v.

By conservation of energy, mgh = (1/2 ) mv⇒ v = √(2gh​)
Now deceleration due to friction is a = μg = 0.2 g
So stopping distance, s = v2/(2a) ​= (2gh) / (0.4g) = 5 h = 5 × 1 = 5m

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 7

A wedge of mass M is fitted with a spring of stiffness ‘k’ is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. A rod of mass m is kept on the wedge as shown in the figure. System is in equilibrium.
Assuming that all surfaces are smooth, the potential energy stored in the spring is:

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 7

N sinθ = kx
N cosθ = mg
We get the value of x, 
x = (mg tanθ) / k

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 8

The potential energy of a particle varies with a distance x as shown in the graph.The force acting on the particle is zero at

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 8

The slope of the energy distance graph represents force.

∵ At points B, C slope is zero,
Therefore, force acting is also zero

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 9

The ends of a spring are attached to blocks of masses 3 kg and 2 kg. The 3 kg block rests on a horizontal surface and the 2 kg block which is vertically above it is in equilibrium producing a compression of 1 cm of the spring. The value of the length to which the 2 kg mass must be compressed, so that when it is released, the 3 kg block may be lifted off the ground is:

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 9

We have two blocks with upper block in equilibrium. The upper block compresses the spring by 1 cm.

Therefore force by spring is equal to the weight of 2 kg block.
kx = 2g ⇒ k × 1 = 2g ⇒ k = (2g)/1 = 20 N/cm = 2000 N/m

Now let the total compression after exerting force be y. When the force is removed the upper block goes up lifting the lower block upward.
At this time the normal reaction force acting on the body becomes zero.
This means spring force will be equal to the sum of the weights of upper block and lower block.

Ky = 2g + 3g
Replacing k by 2000N/m and g by 10m/s2
2000 y = 2 × 10 + 3 × 10 = 50
⇒ y = 50/2000
⇒ y = 0.025 m = 0.025 x 100
⇒ y = 2.5 cm

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 10

A body of mass m accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed v0 in time t0 . The work done on the body till any time t is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 10

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 11

An inclined plane ends into a vertical loop of radius r as shown in figure. If a particle of mass m is released from topmost point. The point C on the track as shown in the figure and centre of circular track are at same horizontal level. The normal force at point C is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 11

Velocity at point C is v

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 12

A uniform rod of length L and mass M is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The force F applied on the rod is such that the rod is just in the state of rest. If the coefficient of friction varies according to the relation μ = KX, where K is a positive constant. Suppose friction is present only from X = 0 to X = L. If the rod moves in the direction of application of force then the total heat generated in the time in which the rod crosses this region, is equal to

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 12

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 13

In the figure shown all the surfaces are frictionless, and mass of the block, m = 1 kg. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now wedge is given a horizontal acceleration  of 10 m/s2 by applying a force on the wedge, so that the block does not slip on the wedge. Then work done by the normal force in ground frame on the block in √3 seconds is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 13

Let the Normal Reaction of Wedge on the Block be 'N'.

We know,
Acceleration of Block , a = 10 m/s2
Initial velocity of block , u = 0 m/s

Using Newton's Equation of motion,
T=√3s
S = ut + (1/2) at2 = 0 + (1/2) x 10 x (√3)= 15

Work done by the Normal Force,W= N x S x cos(π/2- θ)
= N x 15 x sin(θ) = 10 x 15 = 150N

Hence, Work Done by the Normal Force in the ground Frame on the block is 150 N.

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 14

Suppose potential energy between particle A and B at separation r is given by U = k ln r, where k is constant. For such hypothetical system, the ratio of energy difference between energy levels (n = 1 and n = 2) and (n = 2 and n = 4) is (The energy of a particle in nth level is –13.6/n2)

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 14

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 15

A 1.0 kg block collides with a horizontal weightless spring of force constant 2.75 Nm−1 as shown in figure. The block compresses the spring 4.0 m from the rest position. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and horizontal surface is 0.25, the speed of the block at the instant of collision is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 15

Work done on m=change in kinetic energy
⇒ work done by friction and PE energy in spring= Δk.E
⇒ μn(x)+1/2kx2=1/2mv2
⇒ 0.25 x 10 x 4 + 1/2 x 275/100 x 16 = 1/2 x (1) v2
⇒10+22=1/2v2
⇒ 32x2=v2
⇒ 64=v2
⇒ v=8m/s

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 16

Three blocks A, B and C are kept as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between A and B is 0.2, B and C is 0.1, C and ground is 0.0. The mass of A, B and C are 3 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg respectively. A is given a horizontal velocity 10 m/s. A, B and C always remain in contact i.e. lies as in figure. The total work done by friction will be

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 16

The block A is given 10m/s velocity
Initial momentum of the system = 3 x 10 = 30
As no external force is applied the linear momentum of the system: 30=6xv
v=5 m/s
The final mass will be taken 6 kg as it is given that finally, all the blocks are moving together as a system.

By the conversation of energy
(1/2) x 3 x 10+ frictional work done = (1/2) x 6 x 52
⇒ Frictional work done = -75J

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 17

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 17

work done by acc of sphere = m × 2gR sin∅
work done by gravity = - m × gR(1 - cos ∅)
∆KE = 0
using work-energy threorm
2 mgR sin ∅ - mgR(1 - cos ∅) = 0
2 mgR sin ∅ = mgR(1 - cos ∅)
2 sin ∅ = (1 - cos ∅)
∅ = 2 tan-12

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 18

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 18

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 19

When an object is allowed to slide down a hill it stops at the point B because of friction. If friction force depends only on the normal component of the reaction force with coefficient of friction variable along the path, the work done in taking the object slowly from B to A along the hill will be

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 19

The work done when moving an object from B to A against friction can be understood as follows:

  • Friction work when sliding down from A to B is -mgh. This represents the energy lost due to friction.
  • To move the object slowly from B to A, you need to overcome this friction and also provide energy equivalent to the gravitational potential energy difference, which is mgh.
  • Therefore, the total work done when moving the object from B to A is the sum of both these energies: -(-mgh) + mgh = 2mgh.

Thus, the work done in moving the object from B to A is 2mgh.

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 20

If the heart pushes 1 cc of blood in 1 s under pressure 20000 Nm-2, the power of the heart is

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 20

Given,
Pressure, P = 20000 Nm-2
Volume per second = 1cc
Power of heart = Pressure x volume per second
= 20000 Nm-2 x 10-6 = 0.02 w

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 21

An object of mass 5 kg falls from rest through a vertical distance of 20 m and attains a velocity of 10 m/s. How much work is done by the resistance of the air on the object? (g = 10 m/s²)

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 21

According to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the force of gravity and the force of air resistance on the object is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
Work done by all forces = Change in KE

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 22

A 0.5 kg block slides from the point A on a horizontal track with an initial speed of 3 m/s toward a weightless horizontal spring of length 1 m and force constant 2 N/m. The part AB of the track is frictionless and the part BC has the coefficients of static and kinetic friction as 0.22 and 0.2, respectively. If the distances AB and BD are 2 m and 2.14 m, respectively find the total distance through which the block moves before it comes to rest completely (Take g = 10 m/s2).

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 22

The sum of work done by force of friction and spring force is equal to change in kinetic energy of the block.
Suppose the block comes to rest at the point E, i.e., let DE = x. The kinetic energy of the block is spent in overcoming friction and compressing the spring through a distance DE = x.
Kinetic energy of the block
....(i)
As the part AB of the track is frictionless, work done in moving from A to B is zero. 
Let normal reaction of the block = mg.
C oefficient of friction = µ
Force due to friction along the track
BC = µ mg = 0.2 x 0.5 x 10 = 1N
Distance through which the block moves against the frictional force = 2.14 + x m

Work done by block against friction before it comes to rest = µ mg (2.14+ x); = (2.14 + x) J
Let the spring constant = k
∴ Work done by the block in compressing the spring through distance X
...(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii) and equating it to (i), we get
2.14 + x + x2 = 2.25; or x2 +  x - 0.11 = 0
or 100x2 + 100x - 11 = 0
or (10x + 11)(10x - 1) = 0

Restoring force of the spring
= kx = 2 x 0.1 = 0.2N … (iv)
Static frictional force of the block
µstatic mg= 0.22 x 0.5 x 10 = 1.1N … (v)
From (iv) and (v) it is clear that the static frictional force is greater than the restoring force of the spring. Therefore, the block will not move in the backward direction. Hence the total distance through which the block moves before it comes to rest completely is
2.00 + 2.14 + 0.10 = 4.24 m

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 23

A block of mass 2 kg is pulled up on a smooth incline of angle 30o with horizontal. If the block moves with an acceleration of 1m/s2, find the power delivered by the pulling force at a time t = 4 s after motion starts. What is the average power delivered during these four seconds after the motion starts?

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 23

Apply newton’s second law of motion along the direction of incline to find the applied force. As acceleration is constant and initial velocity is zero, the final velocity at time t is v=at along incline and power is P = F× v.
Resolving forces parallel to incline
F − mg sin θ= ma ; ⇒ F = mg sin θ + ma
= 2 x 9.8x sin30o + 2x1= 11.8N
The velocity after t = 4 s is v = u+at = 0 + 1x 4= 4m / s
Power delivered by force at t = 4 s
= Force x Velocity = 11.8 x 4 = 47.2W
The displacement during t = 4 s is given by the formula
v2 = u2 + 2as; v2 = 0 + 2 × 1 × S
∴ S = 8m
Work done in t = 4s is W = Force × distance = 11.8 x 8 = 94.4 J
∴  average power delivered

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 24

In a spring gun having spring constant 100 N/m, a small ball of mass 0.1 kg is put in its barrel by compressing the spring through 0.05 m as shown in the Fig. 5.29. Find where a box should be placed on the ground so that ball falls in it, if the ball leaves the gun horizontally at a height of 2 m above the ground? (g = 10 m/s2).
 

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 24

As the spring expands the potential energy stored in the spring is converted in the kinetic energy of ball. The horizontal distance moved by the ball will depend on time taken by ball to fall vertical height h

 When the spring is released its elastic potential energy is converted into kinectic energy 

 As vertical component of velocity of the ball is zero, the time taken by the ball to reach the ground is

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball in this time is

HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 25

Two bodies A and B connected by a light rigid bar of 10 m long move in two frictionless guides as shown in the Figure. If B starts from rest when it is vertically below A, find the velocity of B when X = 6 m.

Detailed Solution for HC Verma Test: Work, Energy & Power - Question 25

As the blocks A and C fall vertically downwards, the loss in its potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy of blocks A, B and C.
Assume
mA = mB 200kg and mc = 100kg
At the instant, when the bar is as shown in the Figure

where dx/dt = velocity of B and dy/dt = velocity of A
Applying the law of conservation of energy, loss of potential energy of A, if it is going down when the rod is vertical to the position as shown in the Fig.

= mAg (10 − 8) = 2 x 200 x 9.8
C moves down 6 m since B moves 6 m along x-axis.
Total loss of potential energy
= 200 x 9.8 x 2 − 100 x 9.8 x 6 = 100 x 9.8 x 10 = 9800 J.
This must be equal to kinetic energy gained Kinetic energy gained


∴ Veloctiy of B at the required moment is = 6.9ms-1
