NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11 PDF Download

The terms ‘work’, ‘energy’, and ‘power’ are frequently used in everyday language. In physics, however, the word ‘Work’ covers a definite and precise meaning. This chapter of NEET physics covers the fundamental concepts of energy, work, and power, and their applications to various physical systems. Let's have a look at the Previous Year's Questions of NEET Exam of this chapter.

NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11

2024

Q1: At any instant of time t, the displacement of any particle is given by 2t − 1 (SI unit) under the influence of force of  5N. The value of instantaneous power is (in SI unit):
(a) 10
(b) 5
(c) 7
(d) 6
Ans: 
(a)
To find the instantaneous power delivered by a force, we can use the formula:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
where P is the power, NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11 is the force vector, and NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11 is the velocity vector of the particle.
In this question, the force exerted is given as a constant 5N. Since no direction is specified, and the displacement is given in a scalar form, we assume the force acts along the direction of displacement. Therefore, we can treat the vectors as scalars for simplicity.
The displacement of the particle is given by:
x = 2t - 1
The velocity, NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11, is the derivative of displacement with respect to time. Deriving the displacement equation with respect to time t gives:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
The instantaneous power can now be calculated as:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11Watts
Thus, the instantaneous power delivered by the force at any time t is 10 WattsWatts.
The correct answer is Option A: 10.

Q2: Two bodies A and B of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body A moves with velocity v1 while body B is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is v2. The ratio v: v2 is:     [2024]
(a) 1 : 2
(b) 2 : 1
(c) 4 : 1
(d) 1 :  4
Ans:
(b)
In a completely inelastic collision, the two bodies stick together and move with a common final velocity. Here, before the collision, body A is moving with a velocity v1 and body B is at rest. The conservation of momentum must hold true because no external forces are acting on the system.
The momentum before the collision is only due to body A since body B is at rest. Therefore, the total initial momentum pinitial of the system is given by:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
where:

  • mA and mB are the masses of bodies A and B respectively,
  • m is the mass of each body,
  • v1 is the velocity of body A,

v0 = 0 is the velocity of body B because it is initially at rest.
Since they undergo a completely inelastic collision, bodies A and B stick together after the collision and hence move with a common velocity v2. The total mass of the combined system post-collision is NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11The momentum after the collision is given by:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
Applying the conservation of momentum (since no external force implies momentum is conserved), we equate pinitialinitial and pfinalfinal:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
Dividing through by m yields:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
Thus, solving for the ratio v1 / v2 gives:
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power | Physics Class 11
Therefore, the ratio of v1 to v2 is :1, making the correct answer:
Option B: 2 : 1

Q2: An electric lift with a maximum load of 2000 kg (lift + passengers) is moving up with a constant speed of 1.5 ms–1 . The frictional force opposing the motion is 3000 N. The minimum power delivered by the motor to the lift in watts is : (g = 10 m s –2 )           [2022]
(a) 20000 
(b) 34500 
(c) 23500 
(d) 23000 
Ans: b

The power delivered by the motor to the lift can be calculated using the formula:

Power = Force x Velocity

In this case, the force is the sum of the weight of the lift and the passengers and the frictional force opposing the motion:

Force = (Weight of lift + passengers) + Frictional force

Weight of lift + passengers = Mass x gravity

= (2000 kg / 1000) x 10 m/s2

= 20,000 N

Therefore,

Force = (20,000 N) + (3000 N)

= 23,000 N

Now, using the formula for power, we get:

Power = Force x Velocity

= (23,000 N) x (1.5 m/s)

= 34,500 W

Therefore, the minimum power delivered by the motor to the lift in watts is 34,500 W.

(b) 36 × 104 J 
(c) 36 × 105 J 
(d) × 105 J 
Ans: (a)
Energy = Power × tim
E = 100 ×x 103 ×x 3600
= 36 ×x 107 J

FAQs on NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Work, Energy & Power - Physics Class 11

1. What is work in the context of physics?
Ans. Work in physics is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied. It is calculated using the formula W = F * d, where W is work, F is the force, and d is the distance.
2. How is energy related to work?
Ans. Energy is closely related to work in physics, as work is the transfer of energy from one system to another. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to that object, either increasing its kinetic energy, potential energy, or both.
3. What is power in the context of physics?
Ans. Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated using the formula P = W/t, where P is power, W is work, and t is time. Power is measured in watts (W) or joules per second.
4. How can the concept of work, energy, and power be applied in real-life situations?
Ans. The concepts of work, energy, and power are used in various real-life scenarios, such as calculating the amount of energy consumed by household appliances, determining the power output of a car engine, or analyzing the work done by a person lifting weights at the gym.
5. How can one increase the power output in a mechanical system?
Ans. The power output in a mechanical system can be increased by either increasing the amount of work done in a given time period or by decreasing the time taken to do a certain amount of work. This can be achieved by increasing the force applied, increasing the distance over which the force is applied, or increasing the efficiency of the system.
