Question 2.
Distinguish between potential energy and kinetic energy.
Answer:

  1. Kinetic energy
    • The energy that the body possesses due to its motion.
    • It depends on the mass of the body and velocity with which it is moving kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2
  2. Potential energy
    • The energy which a body possesses either due to its position or due to its deformation.
    • It depends on mass of the body and height to which it is raised from ground
    • The potential energy = m × g × h

Question 3.
A bus and a car are moving at the same speed. Which of the two has greater kinetic energy.
Answer:
The bus has greater kinetic energy since it has got greater mass than car. even though they are moving with the same speed.

Question 4.
A ball of mass 200 grams falls from height of 5 meter ? What is its kinetic energy when it just reaches the ground ?
(g = 9.18 ms-2)
Answer:
m = 200 grams = 0.2 kg
h = 5 m
u = 0
v = 7
Solution:
v2 – u2 = 2gh
v2– 02 = 2 x 9.8 x 5
v2 = 98
kinetic energy, KE = \(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × \(\frac { 200 }{ 1000 }\) × 98 = 9.8 joule

  1. electric bulb
  2. motor
  3. electric heater
  4. microphone
  5. electric cell

Question 6.
Describe the mode of energy trans. formation in a mechanical and quartz clock.
Answer:
In a mechanical clock, the spring is compressed by winding, it attains potential energy. The releasing of the spring slowly is the kinetic energy, using that the wheels of the clock turn, therefore potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. PE → KE → mechanical energy.

In the quartz clock, the electric cell gives, the electrical energy and it is converted into mechanical energy by which the wheels of the clock turns. Therefore the energy transformation is chemical energy → electrical energy → mechanical energy.

Question 7.
What kind of energy transformation takes place at the thermal power station?
Answer:
In a thermal power station, coal is used to generate heat and water is boiled, the resulting steam is used to drive the turbine which is connected to a generator, so the energy transformation at the thermal power station can be written as. Chemical energy → heat energy → mechanical energy → electrical energy.

KSEEB Class 8 Science Chapter 9 Additional Questions & Answers

Question 1.
What is work? Mention the factors on which the work done by a force depends on?
Answer:
Work is said to be done when the point of application of a force moves.
W = F x d
The work done by the force on a body depends on two factors.

  1. Magnitude of the force and
  2. distance that the body moves

Question 2.
How is work done measured?
Answer:
Work done by moving a body is equal to the product of force exerted on the body and the distance moved by the body in the direction of the force.
i.e, work = force x distance

Question 3.
Write the unit of work.
Answer:
Work done by moving body is equal to the product of force exerted on the body and the distance moved by the body in the direction of a force. Work = Force x Distance moved in the direction of force.

Question 11.
A car is moving with a uniform velocity of 15 ms-1 What is the kinetic energy of a boy of mass 40 kg sitting in the car?
Answer:
m = 40 kg
v = 15 ms-1
KE = ?
Solution :
Velocity of the boy = velocity of the car kinetic energy possessed by the boy
\(=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2},=\frac{1}{2} \times 40 \mathrm{kg} \times\left(15 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\right)^{2}=4500 \mathrm{J}\)

Question 12.
If two bodies of equal masses move with a uniform velocity of‘v’ and ‘3v what will be the ratio of their kinetic energies?
Answer:
Mass of first body = m
Velocity of the first body = v
mass of second body = m
velocity of second body = 3v
The ratio of the kinetic energy of the two bodies
KSEEB Solutions for Class 8 Science Chapter 10 Energy and its Forms 12
The ratio of the kinetic energy  of the bodies = 1:9

Question 13.
A bag of wheat weighs 200 kg to what height should it be raised so that its potential energy is 9800 joule (g = 9.8 ms2)
Answer:
m = 200 kg
g = 9.8 ms2
PE = 9800 J
PE = m × g × h
9800 J = 200 kg x 9.8 ms-2 x h
h = 9800
J = 200 kg x 9.8 ms-2
h = 5 m
Thus, the bag of wheat should be raised to a height of 5 m.

Question 15.
What is power?
Answer:
The rate of doing work.
power = \(\frac{\text { Work }}{\text { time }}\)
The unit of power is called Watt.
1 kilowatt = 1000 w.
The unit or power is called Watt.
1kilowatt = 1000 w.

Question 16.
A body does 20 joules of work in 5 seconds. What is its power?
Answer:
W = 20 j
t = 5 seconds
P = 4 w
P = \(\frac{W}{t}\)
P = \(\frac{20}{5}\) = 4 W
P = 4 W
