Questions Related to energy and its forms

The negative of the work done  by the conservative internal forces on a system equals to the change in 

  1. total energy

  2. Kinetic energy

  3. Potential energy

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The negative of the work done  by the conservative internal forces on a system equals to the change in potential energy


Hence, correct answer is option $C$

$1\  hp$ is equal to:

  1. $0.746\  kW$

  2. $7.46\  kW$

  3. $74.6\  kW$

  4. $746 \ kW$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power (the rate at which work is done).A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to $746$ watt (W) or $0.746$ kilowatt (kW).

The unit of work is joule $(J)$ in the $SI$ system and erg in the $CGS$ system. Find number of ergs in $1\ joule$.

  1. $10^{17} ergs$.

  2. $10^{9} ergs$.

  3. $10^{8} ergs$.

  4. $10^{7} ergs$.


Correct Option: D

Which one is not a unit of energy.

  1. Electron-volt

  2. Joule

  3. Calorie

  4. Watt


Correct Option: C

How many joules are equivalent to $1$ unit of electricity.

  1. $3.6\times{10}^{3}$

  2. $3.6\times{10}^{4}$

  3. $3.6\times{10}^{5}$

  4. $3.6\times{10}^{6}$


Correct Option: D

A body of $1000 kg$ moving with $0.3m/s$ in +x direction. A hole is present at the bottom of body such that, mass is dropping at rate of $20 gm/sec$, inn -y direction. Find out force exerted by ejecting mass on body.

  1. 0.4 N

  2. 0 N

  3. 0.6 N

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

Work done charge of mass 2 Kg due to external force against electrostatics force is - 10 J if charge is displaced from A to B. Velocity of charge at point A is 4m/s and at B is 2m/s then find difference is electropotential energy $ (U _s - U _A) $

    • 10J
    • 10J
    • 21J
    • 2J

Correct Option: A

Taking the unit of work as Joule and the unit of amount of heat as K cal, the magnitude in Joule for mechanical equivalence of heat is:

  1. $1$

  2. $4.2 \times 10^7$

  3. $4.2$

  4. $4.2 \times 10^3$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$1\ kcal=4.2\times1000=4.2\times10^3\ J$


How many joules is equal to one calorie?

  1. 1

  2. 0

  3. 2

  4. 3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 1 calorie = 4.2 joules

Define the term calorie. How is it related to joule ?

  1. The amount of energy requires to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1° Celsius, 1 Cal = 4.18 J

  2. The amount of energy requires to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Kelvin, 4.18 Cal = 1 J

  3. The amount of energy requires to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Fahrenheit, 4.18 Cal = 1 J

  4. The amount of energy requires to raise the temperature of 1 gram of ether by 1° Celsius, 1 Cal = 4.18 J


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The term calorie can be defined as the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by $ 1$ °C. 
$1 \ cal = 4.18 \ J$
