Answer Key

Section A: Give Reason

  1. Work requires displacement because without it, no work is done.
  2. Displacement increases the work done even if the force remains constant.
  3. The stretched rubber stores potential energy, which converts to kinetic energy when released.
  4. Potential energy is stored due to an object’s position or state.
  5. Running requires continuous energy, leading to exhaustion.
  6. SI units standardize measurements; both work and energy are measured in Joules.
  7. Coal and petroleum take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished quickly.
  8. Solar energy is the source of most energy transformations on Earth.
  9. Sound energy can cause vibrations and movement, proving it does work.
  10. Renewable energy sources reduce pollution and ensure sustainability.

Section B: True or False

  1. False – Work requires displacement.
  2. True
  3. False – Kinetic energy is due to motion.
  4. True
  5. False – Chemical energy is stored in substances and is different from mechanical energy.
  6. False – Wind energy is a renewable source.
  7. True
  8. True
  9. False – Sound energy can perform work, e.g., breaking glass with loud noise.
  10. False – Solar energy is light energy.

Section C: Multiple Choice Answers
