WORK ENERGY POWER, FLOATATION

1. Why is it easier to swim in sea water than in fresh water?

2. State Archimedes principle.

3. A block weighing 1 kg is in the shape of a cube of length 10 cm. It is kept on a

horizontal table. Find the pressure on the portion of the table where the block
is kept.
4. A bottle weighs 30 g when empty, 53.4 g when filled with a liquid and 48 g when
filled with water. Calculate the density of the liquid. Given, density of water
at 40C = 1000 kg/m3.
5. A person pulls a body on a horizontal surface by applying a force of 5 N at an angle of 30 with the
horizontal. Find the work done by this force in displacing the body through 2 m. (cos 30 =3/2)
6. A car of mass 2500 kg travelling at a speed of 40 m/s stops after covering a distance of 50 m when
brakes are applied. Calculate (a) the force exerted on it by the brakes (b) work done by brakes.
7. Deduce the formula of kinetic energy of a body moving with velocity, v
8. The mass of a ball A is double the mass of Ball B. The ball A moves at half the speed of ball B.

Calculate the ratio of K.E. of A to K. E. of B.

9. Calculate the power developed by a 110 kg mass climbing up a vertical staircase at the rate of 2m/s.
(g= 9.8 m/s2)
10. A lorry and a car moving with same kinetic energy are brought to rest by application of brakes which
provide equal retarding forces. Which one of them will come to rest in a shorter distance?
