Exercise PHY:L6-3-1 : Work, Energy and Power 1. A bullet is shot into a sand bag. The change in kinetic energy E of the bullet with the depth of penetration d of the bullet is shown in the graph below. Calculate the resistive force to the bullet throughout it motion into the sand? E (J) 240 5. 4. To transfer rice grains from its storage place, a lift is used to raise the grains through a vertical height of 20m. The seeds are then shot out with a horizontal velocity of 20 ms-1 from the top of the lift at rate of 2.0kg per second. Calculate the minimum power of the motor required to lift the grains in this way. A coin slides down a plane inclined at 30o to the horizontal with uniform velocity. The mass of the coin is m and is the coefficient of dynamic friction between the coin and the plane. What is the work done against friction when the coin slides through a distance of d? A pump is used to raise water through a height of 100m at rate of 3.0kgs-1. What is the power of the pump if (a) the velocity of the water entering and leaving the pump can be neglected? (b) the velocity of the water entering the pump can be neglected but water is leaving the pump at 3.0ms-1? 7. Figure shows two masses A and B of mass 2.0kg and 3.0kg respectively connected by an inextensible string over a light smooth pulley. The mass A is on a rough surface inclined at an angle of 30 to the horizontal. The system is released from rest. When mass B moves down a vertical distance of 1.0m, its velocity is 2.5ms-1. What is the work done against friction?

A toy car which is powered by a motor, moves with constant velocity v along a straight line. The figure shows the variation of the energy E supplied by its motor with time. If the constant force is F, what is the value of v, in terms of F, a and b? [Neglect the resistance due to its motion caused by the friction and air] E b
