VI. Answer in brief.

1. What is energy?

In science, energy is defined as capacity to do work.

2. What are the different forms of energy?

There are different forms of energy like mechanical energy, heat energy, light energy, wind energy etc.

3. What are the uses of mechanical energy.

Uses of mechanical energy

Mechanical energy can be used to do many works. Some of them are given below.

• In hydro electric plants, kinetic energy of water is converted into electrical energy.

• Windmills convert kinetic energy of winds into electrical energy.

• Mechanical energy of the hammer is used to apply a force on a nail.

• Mechanical energy can bring a moving body to rest and make a body at rest to move.

4. State the law of conservation of energy.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. One form of energy is converted into another form of energy. This law was given by Julius Robert Mayar.

5. Mention the uses of light energy.

Uses of light energy

• We are able to see objects with the help of light energy.

• Plants use light energy to synthesise their food.

• With the help of light energy, our skin is able to synthesise Vitamin-D.

• Electricity can be produced with the help of light energy.

 

VII. Answer in detail.

1. Explain the types of mechanical energy.

Energy possessed by an object due to its position is called mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be classified into two.

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

Kinetic energy : Energy possessed by a moving object is known as kinetic energy. It is also known as energy of motion.

Examples: Moving car, Cricket ball bowled by a player, Bullet coming out of a gun.


Potential energy : Energy possessed by an object which is at rest is known as potential energy. It is also known as stored energy of position.

Examples: Stone in the stretched rubber. Water in the dam.

• Mechanical energy can bring a moving body to rest and make a body at rest to move.

2. Explain conservation of energy.

Conservation energy

Energy cannot be created and it cannot be destroyed also. It is changed from one form to another form or transferred from one object to another object. We can say many examples for conservation of energy in our daily life.

1. Water Dam

Water stored in water dams possesses potential energy. When water falls down, potential energy of water is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of water rotates the turbines and electric energy is generated.


2. Electrical Appliances

Electric energy is used in many domestic appliances such as electric stove, iron box and fan. Electric energy flows into the coil in the devices. As current flows, it heats up the coil. With the help of this heat energy, we do many useful works. Thus, electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Electical energy is converted to mechanical energy in fan, light enrgy in bulb and sound energy in computer.


3. Driving a Car

We use fuel in the form of petrol or diesel or gas to run vehicles. When this fuel burns in the engine, chemical energy is converted into heat energy. Burning fuel produces hot gases which pushes the piston in the engine to move the vehicle. Thus heat energy is converted into mechanical energy.
