Problem on Work and Energy for Class 9

By
  1. A porter lifts a luggage of 15 kg from the ground and puts it on his head 1.5 m above the ground. Calculate the work done by him on the luggage.
  2. A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by the gravitational force? Explain your answer.
  3. An object of mass 15 kg is moving with a uniform velocity of 4 m/s. What is the kinetic energy possessed by the object?
  4. What is the work to be done to increase the velocity of a car from 30 km/h to 60 km/h if the mass of the car is 1500 kg?
  5. Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h?
  6. Certain force acting on a 20 kg mass changes its velocity from 5 m/s to 2 m/s. Calculate the work done by the force.
  7. Find the energy possessed by an object of mass 10 kg when it is at a height of 6 m above the ground. Given, g = 9.8 m/s2.
  8. An object of mass 12 kg is at a certain height above the ground. If the potential energy of the object is 480 J, find the height at which the object is with respect to the ground. Given, g = 10 m/s2.
  9. An object of mass 40 kg is raised to a height of 5 m above the ground. What is its potential energy? If the object is allowed to fall, find its kinetic energy when it is half-way down.
  10. Two girls, each of weight 400 N climb up a rope through a height of 8 m. We name one of the girls A and the other B. Girl A takes 20 s while B takes 50 s to accomplish this task. What is the power expended by each girl?
  11. boy of mass 50 kg runs up a staircase of 45 steps in 9 s. If the height of each step is 15 cm, find his power. Take g = 10 m/s2.
  12. An electric bulb of 60 W is used for 6 h per day. Calculate the 'units' of energy consumed in one day by the bulb.
  13. An electric heater is rated 1500 W. How much energy does it use in 10 hours?
  14. A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is this in joules?
  15. Find the energy in kW h consumed in 10 hours by four devices of power 500 W each.
