The expression for kinetic energy of a body of mass m and velocity. Class 9


Question 1.

Fill in the blanks.

(i) Work done = _____ × _______ (in the direction of force).

Answer:

Work done = Force x Displacement (in the direction of force). W = F × s.


(ii) 1 joule of work is done when a force of ______ newton displaces an object by 1 metre in the direction of the force.

Answer:

1 (one). 1 J = 1 N × 1 m.


(iii) The expression for kinetic energy of a body of mass m and velocity v is _________.

Answer:

K = 1/2 mv².


(iv) The potential energy of an object of mass m at a small height h from the Earth’s surface is

Answer:

U = mgh (where g = 10 m s-2 near Earth's surface).


(v) Power is defined as the ______ at which work is done.

Answer:

Rate. Power is the rate at which work is done: P = W/t.
