 ANSWERS
1. Ans.(c) W = Fs cos q Þ cos q = W = 25 = 1 Þ q = 60 °
Fs 50 2

2. Ans. (d) W = F.s = (5ˆi + 6ˆj - 4 kˆ ).(6ˆi + 5kˆ ) = 30 - 20 = 10 units

3. Ans.(b) Work done does not depend on time.

4. Ans.(a) Work = Force × Displacement (length)

If unit of force and length be increased by four times then the unit of energy will increase by 16
times.

5. Ans.(b) Work done = mgh = 10 ´ 9 .8 ´ 1 = 98 J

6. Ans.(d) W = F.s = (3ˆi + 4 ˆj).(3ˆi + 4 ˆj) = 9 + 16 = 25 J

7. Ans.(a) W = F.(r2 - r1 ) = (4ˆi + ˆj + 3kˆ )(11ˆi + 11 ˆj + 15 kˆ )

W = 44 + 11 + 45 = 100 Joule

8. Ans.(c) W = (3ˆi + cˆj + 2kˆ ).(-4ˆi + 2ˆj + 3kˆ ) = 6 J

W = -12 + 2c + 6 = 6 Þ c = 6

9. Ans.(b) W = F.r = (5ˆi + 3ˆj + 2kˆ ).(2ˆi - ˆj) = 10 - 3 = 7 J

10. Ans.(c) When the ball is released from the top of tower then ratio of distances covered by
the ball in first, second and third second
