Read more about the article A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happens to its kinetic energy?

A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happens to its kinetic energy?

When a freely falling body eventually stops on reaching the ground, its kinetic energy gets converted into heat energy (as the body and ground warm up due to the collision),…

Read more about the article Find the energy in kW h consumed in 10 hours by four devices of power 500 W each.

Find the energy in kW h consumed in 10 hours by four devices of power 500 W each.

The power of four devices = 4 × 500 W = 2000 W Time = 10 hours Therefore, the energy consumed = power × time = 2,000 × 10 Wh…

Read more about the article Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

If the resultant force acting on a body in different directions is zero, then the acceleration will be zero. We know that,  F = ma, In the net force is…

Read more about the article In each of the following a force, F is acting on an object of mass, m. The direction  of displacement is from west to east shown by the longer arrow. Observe the  diagrams carefully and state whether the work done by the force is negative, positive or zero.</br><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-58215" src="https://flasheducation.online/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/force-mass-300x50.png" alt="" width="300" height="50" />

In each of the following a force, F is acting on an object of mass, m. The direction of displacement is from west to east shown by the longer arrow. Observe the diagrams carefully and state whether the work done by the force is negative, positive or zero.

In the first case, the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, so work done is zero. In the second case, the force and displacement are in the same…

Read more about the article Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h?

Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h?

Mass of the car (m) = 1500 kg Velocity of the car (v) = 60 km/h =m/s The car is in motion, so its energy = kinetic energy = 𝑚𝑣2…

Read more about the article An object of mass, m is moving with a constant velocity, v. How much work should be done on the object in order to bring the object to rest?

An object of mass, m is moving with a constant velocity, v. How much work should be done on the object in order to bring the object to rest?

The object is in motion, so its energy = kinetic energy = mv2 The kinetic energy of the object, when it comes to rest = 0. Work done on object …

Read more about the article Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes  which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate.  Why does the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy?

Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy?

In the given pendulum, there are three cases of points to be discussed. At the points B and C, the pendulum bob is at its maximum height, so its potential…

Read more about the article An electric heater is rated 1500 W. How much energy does it use in 10 hours?

An electric heater is rated 1500 W. How much energy does it use in 10 hours?

Power (P) = 1500 W Time (t) = 10 hours = (10 × 60 × 60) seconds = 36,000 seconds We know that, Energy (E) = Power × time =…

Read more about the article A person holds a bundle of hay over his head for 30 minutes and gets tired. Has he done some work or not? Justify your answer.

A person holds a bundle of hay over his head for 30 minutes and gets tired. Has he done some work or not? Justify your answer.

The person holding a bundle of hay get tired because his muscular energy is converting into thermal energy. There is no displacement at all, so he had no work. As…

Read more about the article Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.

Yes, it is true. There may be displacement in the absence of force. We know that,  F = ma, In the absence of force, F = 0, then ma =…
