Multiple choice physics energy and its forms idea of energy introduction to work and energy work and energy

1 MeV is equal to:

  1. $1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$
  2. $1.6 \times 10^{-14} J$
  3. $1.6 \times 10^{-13} J$
  4. $1.6 \times 10^{13} J$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

 Electron volt (symbol eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.6×10−19  joules (symbol J). By definition, it is the amount of energy gained (or lost) by the charge of a single electron moving across an electric potential difference of one volt.

And mega electron volt (MeV) is $10^6\times eV$ so $1MeV=1.6 \times 10^{-13}$.
so best possible option is optionC.

The form of energy present in a wound spring is :

  1. Chemical

  2. Heat energy

  3. Magnetic

  4. Mechanical
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

no chemical reaction takes place while wounding a spring so no chemical energy.

no energy is stored in the form of temperature change so no heat energy is stored.
no magnetic field is around the spring so no magnetic energy.
but due to change in shape of the metal potential energy is stored, so answer is option D.

1erg is equal to:

  1. $ 1 g cm s^{-2}$

  2. 1 Nm
  3. $ 10^7 J$
  4. $10^{-7} J$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram centimeter-squared per second-squared

And joule is SI unit of work done or energy equals work done by force of 1N for a displacement of 1m.
So converting cgs to SI unit.
$1 erg= 10^{-3}N\times(10^{-2}m)^2\times1s$ $=10^{-7}$J.

A helicopter flying in the air has:

  1. only kinetic energy but not potential energy

  2. Only potential energy but not kinetic energy

  3. both potential and kinetic energy

  4. neither kinetic nor potential energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A flying helicopter has potential energy,mgh(mass by g by weight) and this potential energy does not depend in any way on how fast it is flying in a horizontal direction.

It also possesses kinetic energy at a constant velocity which is same at any height it flies.
The total energy is sum of both potential energy and kinetic energy.

One kilowatt-hour is equivalent to ______  joules.

  1. $\displaystyle 3.6\times 10^{6}$
  2. $\displaystyle 6\times 10^{6}$
  3. $\displaystyle 3\times 10^{6}$
  4. $\displaystyle 1.8\times 10^{6}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

One kilowatt-hour is the energy consumed by a 1 kW device in 1 hour. Since 1 kW = 1000 J/s and 1 hour = 3600 s, 1 kWh = 1000 * 3600 = 3.6 * 10^6 Joules.

What type of energy conversion takes place when a compressed spring is released?

  1. Molecular energy to potential energy

  2. Kinetic energy to potential energy

  3. Potential energy to kinetic energy

  4. Potential energy to molecular energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A compressed spring stores elastic potential energy. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves.
