The correct relation between joule and erg is:

  1. $1\ J = 10^{-5} erg$
  2. $1\ J = 10^{5} erg$
  3. $1\ J = 10^{-7} erg$
  4. $1\ J = 10^{7} erg$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Joule and erg both are units of work done. An erg is the amount of work done by applying a force of one dyne for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it will be one gram centimeter-squared per second-squared. Whereas joule is the amount of work done by applying a force of one newton for a distance of one meter.

Thus,

$1 joule = 1 newton \times 1 m\\$

$1 joule = \dfrac{1 kg \times 1 m}{1 s ^{2}} \times 1 m\\$

$1 J = \dfrac{1000 g \times 100 cm}{1 s ^{2}} \times 100 cm \\$

$1 J = 10^{7} \ erg$

Thus option D is correct.

State the wrong statement 

  1. Total work done by internal force in a system is always zero

  2. Work done is different as seen from different frames of reference

  3. In the absence of external forces and non-conservation force , the molecules energy of a system remains conserved

  4. a non conservation force always do negative work

D Correct answer
Explanation

Non-conservative forces (like friction) can do positive work (e.g., if a force acts in the direction of displacement). Thus, the statement that they always do negative work is false.

A force $\vec {F} = -k(x\hat {i} + y\hat {j})$, where $k$ is positive constant, acts on a particle moving in the $x-y$ plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the y-axis to the point $(a, a)$.

  1. Work done by the force in moving particle along x-axis is $-\dfrac {1}{2}ka^{2}$
  2. Work done by the force in moving particle along x-axis is $-ka^{2}$
  3. Work done by the force in moving particle along y-axis is $-\dfrac {1}{2}ka^{2}$
  4. Total work done by the force for overall motion is $-ka^{2}$

A man carries a load on his head through a distance of 5 m. The maximum amount of work is done when he

  1. Movies it over an inclined plane

  2. Movies it over a horizontal surface

  3. Lift it vertically upwards

  4. All of the above

C Correct answer
Explanation

The maximum work done by man will be when he lift it vertically upwards because in such situation the man has to exert force opposite to gravity that is in the direction of the displacement of load.

A force of $5 N$ is applied on a $20 kg$ mass at rest. the work done in the third second is:-

  1. $\dfrac{25}{8}J$
  2. $\dfrac{25}{4}J$
  3. $12 J$
  4. $25 J$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Displacement in third second = displacement till 3rd second - Displacement till 2nd second 

=$\dfrac{a}{2}3^2-\dfrac{a}{2}2^2=\dfrac{5}{8}m$ (No term of ut because u=0)

Thus work done in third second =$5\times\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{25}{8}J$

A small ball bearing is releases at the top of a long vertical column of glycerine of height $2h$. The ball bearing falls through a height $h$ in a time $t _{1}$ and then the remaining height with the terminal velocity in time $t _{2}$ Let $W _{1}$ and $W _{2}$ be the work done against viscous drag over these height. therefore.

  1. $t _{1}< t _{2}$
  2. $t _{1}> t _{2}$
  3. $W _{1}=W _{2}$
  4. $W _{1}< W _{2}$

No work is done by a force on an object if 

  1. the force is always perpendicular to its velocity

  2. the force is always perpendicular to its acceleration

  3. the object is stationary but the point of application of the force moves on the object

  4. the object moves in such a way that the point of application of the force remains fixed.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
The work done by a force F in displacing a particle through d is:
$W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{d}=Fd\cos \theta$
If $\theta =90^o$
$W=Fd\cos 90^o=0$
Now direction of displacement is same as the direction of velocity.
So if force is always perpendicular to the velocity then no work is done.

A moving particle is acted upon by several forces $F _1, F _2, F _3 .....$ etc. One of the force is chosen, say $F _2$,  then which of the following statement about $F _2$ will be true.

  1. Work done by $F _2$ will be negative if speed of the particle decreases
  2. Work done by $F _2$ will be positive if speed of the particle increases
  3. Work done by $F _2$ will be equal to the work done by other forces if speed of the particle does not change
  4. If $F _2$ is a conservative force, then work done by all other forces will be equal to change in potential energy due to force $F _2$ when speed remains constant.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

According to the work-energy theorem, if a conservative force does work, it is equal to the negative change in potential energy (W_conservative = -Delta U). Therefore, when a particle moves at constant speed, the net work done by all forces is zero, meaning the work done by all other forces equals the negative work done by the conservative force F_2, which translates to positive change in potential energy due to F_2.
