9. Because when a dam is built on a river, the nearby accumulated water is called lake. The water gains a huge amount of potential energy on being accumulated and due to its height. When released in small amounts, the water's pot. Energy converts to kinetic energy which turns the turbine wings. Which further move the coil within 2 strong magnets, which creates emf in the coil. Which results in the formation of electric current?

10. In a river, flowing water exerts a force on the swimmer. To cross the river or to swim upstream the swimmer has to overcome this resistive force. This requires spending a lot of energy.
As there is no flow of water in a swimming pool, the swimmer does not have to overcome the resistive force as in river. Hence it is easier to swim in swimming pool than in a river.

11. Let a body of mass 'm' placed at a height 'h' above the ground, start falling down from rest.

In this case we have to show that the total energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) of the body at A, B and C remains constant i.e, potential energy is completely transformed into kinetic energy.

Body of Mass 'm' Placed at a Height 'h'

At A,

Potential energy = mgh

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = 0 [the velocity is zero as the object is initially at rest]

Total energy at A = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

= mgh + 0

Total energy at A = mgh …(1)

At B,

Potential energy = mgh

= mg(h - x) [Height from the ground is (h - x)]

Potential energy = mgh - mgx

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

The body covers the distance x with a velocity v. We make use of the third equation of motion to obtain velocity of the body.

v² - u² = 2aS

Here, u = 0, a = g and S = x

v² - u² = 2as

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

v²= 2gx

Kinetic energy = mgx

Total energy at B = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

= mgh +0.mgx

Total energy at B = mgh …(2)

At C,

Potential energy = m x g x 0 (h = 0)

Potential energy = 0

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

The distance covered by the body is h

v² - u² = 2aS

Here, u = 0, a = g and S = h

v² - 0 = 2gh

v² = 2gh

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 m x 2gh

Kinetic energy = mgh

Total energy at C = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

= 0 + mgh

Total energy at C = mgh …(3)

It is clear from equations 1, 2 and 3 that the total energy of the body remains constant at every point. Thus, we conclude that law of conservation of energy holds good in the case of a freely falling body.

12. Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is thewatt, onejoule per second.

13. The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another (including transformation into or from mass, as matter). The total amount of energy in a closed system never changes.

Example: When water is used to produce electricity. In this process, firstly, water is allowed to fall from great heights, so potential energy is converted to kinetic energy(K.E.). Then this energy is used to rotate the turbine of a generator which produces electricity. Thus potential energy of water in a dam is converted into kinetic energy which is then converted to electric energy.

14. PE= Energy stored during work

= Force x displacement=(mg)h=mgh.joules

15. ω = -F x d = (20 x 0.6) = -12 joules

16. p = ω/t = mgh/t = 20 x 9.8 x 10 / 40 = 49watts

17. p = 40ω = 40 x 10-3 kω

T = 50 x 5 = 250hrs

1 unit = 1kωh

Units covere = P x T = 40 x 10-3 (kω) x 250h

= 10kωh = 10units

Cost = 10 x 3 = 30 rupess
