4. (a) (i) A woman is carrying a bag on her head and going to the top of a hill. Is there any work done?
Yes. The work done is due to the increase in potential energy. [1, 1]
4. (a) (ii) A child is pulling a toy car with a 10 N force. The direction of the force makes an angle of 70° with the
normal line. If the car moves 6 m horizontally, how much work does the child do? If there is frictional force
of 2 N, what is the work done due to frictional force?
The angle between force and displacement is 20. [1]
Wload = F s cos  = 10 × 6 × cos 20 = 56.38 J [1, 0, 1]
Wfriction = f s cos  = 2 × 6 × cos 180 = -12 J [0, 1, 1]
4. (b) (i) Differentiate between potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). Can a body have both PE and
KE at the same time? Give an example.
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body due to its position or configuration. [ 1]
Kinetic energy is the energy a body have because of its motion [1]
Yes. A body moving at a height has both PE and KE. [1, 1]
4. (b) (ii) If a body is thrown upward with a velocity of 20 m s-1, what is the maximum height it can reach. Use
energy principle to get your answer.
total energy at the top = total energy at the bottom [1]
PEtop + KEtop = PEbottom + KEbottom [1]
mgh + 0 = 0 + ½ mv2 [1]
v2 202 [1]
h  = 20 m
2 g 2 10

5. (a) (i) State the law of conservation of energy taking the universe as an isolated system. Is the total energy of the
universe decreasing day by day?
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed in any process. The total energy of the universe is constant. [1, 1]
No. [1]
5. (a) (ii) A 200 g plastic ball is dropped from 10 m high, and rebounds to 4 m high. How much energy has lost as it
strikes the ground? Will the velocities of the ball at 2 m when it falls, and when it rebounds the same?
E10 m = PE10 m = mgh = 0.2 × 10 × 10 = 20 J [1]
E4 m = PE4 m = mgh = 0.2 × 10 × 4 = 8 J [1]
Elost = 12 J [1]
No. [1]
5. (b) (i) Express three examples having elastic potential energy.
Stretched or compressed spring, stretched rubber band, bent plastic ruler [1, 1, 1]
5. (b) (ii) A 2 kg body is initially moving with a velocity of 2 m s-1 on a frictionless horizontal surface. A force is
acted on it, and the velocity increases to 6 m s-1 after sliding 4 m. Find the net force acted using work energy
principle. Does this force depend on the work done?
W = KE [1]
F s = ½ mv2 - ½ mv02 [1, 1]
F × 4 = 0.5 × 2 × (62 – 22)
F=8N [1]
No. [1]
