Answer Key

Q1 hence Answer in first case is `200` hence Answer in second case is `12.5`

Q2 increased/greater
Q3 (a), Q4 (d).
Q5 Solution:
Since, Power = Force`\times`Velocity ∴Power of Avinash, `PA = 10 N\times8 ms^{-1}= 80 W` Power of Kapil, `PK= 25 N\times3 ms^{-1}= 75 W` As `PA >PK` so, Avinash is more powerful than Kapil.

Q8 Solution: Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of transfer of energy, Kilowatt is the unit of power and kilowatt hour is the unit of energy or work as kilowatt hour = unit of power x unit of time. Energy possessed by `2000` tonnes `(= 2000\times10^{3} kg)` water at a height of `20 m`, `Ef = mgh` `= 2000\times10^{3}\times10\times20` `= 4\times10^{8} J` Power generated if all this energy can be utilized, `P=\frac{E_{p}}{t}` `=\frac{4\times10^{8}}{60s}` `=\frac{2}{3}\times10^{8} W`

Q9 Solution: Power associated in lifting a body of mass `m` upto a height h in time t is, `p=\frac{mgh}{t}` Here, `\frac{h}{t}` = speed = `v` `∴ P=mgv` Here `P = 100W, v=1ms^{-1},10 ms^{-2}` `m=pug` So, `m=100W10 ms^{-2}1 ms^{-1}=10 kg`

Q10 Solution: One watt is the power of an agent which does work at the rate of one joule per second. `1 KW = 1000 watt = 1000` joule per second ( `1 W = 1 Js^{-1}`) Mass of the car, `m = 150 kg` Power developed by engine per `kg = 500 W` Total power developed by engine, `P = 500 W\times150` `= 75000 W` Speed of car,` v = 20 ms^{-1}` Power, `P = Fv` `=>` Force exerted in moving the car, `f = Pv` `=75000W\times20ms^{-1}` `=3750 N`


Q11 (a),
Q12 Answer: the ratio of total energy used and total time is called average power.
average power=total energy used/total time
