B. Answer the following questions.

Question 1.
Define energy.
Answer:
Energy is defined as the capacity of doing work. It is the ability to do work.

Question 2.
Express energy in proper units.
Answer:
Unit of energy = Joule
Smaller unit of energy = K cal (kilocalorie)
1 K cal = 1000 cal 1 cal = 4.2 J

Question 3.
Discuss about different forms of energy.
Answer:
Different forms of energy include :
(a) Potential energy : This form of energy is due to position of the object.
(b) Kinetic energy : This form of energy is due to motion of an object.
(c) Electrical energy
(d) Thermal energy
(e) Light energy
(f) Sound energy

Question 4.
Describe conversion of energy from one form to another in different situation.
Answer:
In bow and arrow. When we pull the string of bow while holding arrow in the pulled string, some potential energy is stored due to change in the formation of bow. On releasing the arrow, potential energy of bow changes into kinetic energy of the arrow. It shoots away due to this energy.

Question 5.
State law of conservation of energy, with example.
Answer:
It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change its form. In other words total energy is conserved during transformation of energy.
Example : A pendulum potential.

(a) kinetic energy
(b) potential energy
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of these
Answer:
(c) both (a) and (b)

Question 3.
A stone at height has
(a) kinetic energy
(b) potential energy
(c) any of (a) or (b)
Answer:
(b) potential energy

Question 4.
When fire works are lighted in a celebration then chemical energy changes to.
(a) heat
(b) sound
(c) light

Answer:
Pendulum of a wall clock has mechanical energy.

Question 13.
When work is done on an object, its energy
Answer:
When work is done on an object, its energy is transferred.

F. Define :

Question 14.
Energy
Answer:
Energy is defined as the capacity of doing work. It is the ability to do work.

Question 15.
Unit of energy
Answer:
Work of 1 joule is said to be done when a force of 1 newton moves an object through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force.

Question 16.
Potential energy
Answer:
This form of energy is due to position of the object. Work done to change the position of an object is stored as potential energy in the object.
