Answer Key
Section A: Give Reason
- Work requires displacement because without it, no work is done.
- Displacement increases the work done even if the force remains constant.
- The stretched rubber stores potential energy, which converts to kinetic energy when released.
- Potential energy is stored due to an object’s position or state.
- Running requires continuous energy, leading to exhaustion.
- SI units standardize measurements; both work and energy are measured in Joules.
- Coal and petroleum take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished quickly.
- Solar energy is the source of most energy transformations on Earth.
- Sound energy can cause vibrations and movement, proving it does work.
- Renewable energy sources reduce pollution and ensure sustainability.
Section B: True or False
- False – Work requires displacement.
- True
- False – Kinetic energy is due to motion.
- True
- False – Chemical energy is stored in substances and is different from mechanical energy.
- False – Wind energy is a renewable source.
- True
- True
- False – Sound energy can perform work, e.g., breaking glass with loud noise.
- False – Solar energy is light energy.
