Energy Conservation Question 1:
A ball overtake another ball of twice its own mass and moving with 1/7 of its own velocity. Find the coefficient of restitution between the two balls, if the first ball will come to rest after impact.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 0.6 - 0.8
Energy Conservation Question 1 Detailed Solution
m1 = m, m2 = 2m, u1 = U, u2 = U/7, V1 = 0
law of conservation of momentum:
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1V1 + m2V2
\(mU + 2m.\frac{U}{7} = m\left( 0 \right) + 2m\left( {{V_2}} \right)\)
\({V_2} = \frac{{9U}}{{14}}\)
Coefficient of restitution:
\(e = \frac{{velocity\;of\;separation}}{{velocity\;of\;approach}} = \frac{{{V_2} - {V_1}}}{{{u_1} - {u_2}}}\)
\(e = \frac{{\frac{{9U}}{{14}}}}{{U - \frac{U}{7}}} = 0.75\)Energy Conservation Question 2:
A mass of 2000 kg is currently being lowered at a velocity of 2 m/s from the drum as shown in the figure. The mass moment of inertia of the drum is 150 kg-m2. On applying the brake, the mass is brought to rest in a distance of 0.5 m. The energy absorbed by the brake (in kJ) is _____
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 14.1 - 14.3
Energy Conservation Question 2 Detailed Solution
Eabs,brake = Einitial – Efinal
\({v_1} =2~m/s,\;\;{\omega _1} = \frac{{{V_1}}}{R} = \frac{2}{1} =2~rad/s\)
V2 = 0, ω2 = 0
h1 – h2 = 0.5 - 0 = 0.5 m
I = 150 kg-m2, m = 2000 kg
\({E_{initial}} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega _1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + mg{h_1}\)
\({E_{final}} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega _2^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 + mg{h_2}\)
\(Δ E = {E_{initial}} - {E_{final}} = \frac{1}{2}I(\omega _1^2 - \omega _2^2) + \frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2 - v_2^2) + mg({h_1} - {h_2})\)
\(Δ E = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times \left[ {{2^2} - {0^2}} \right] + \frac{1}{2} \times 2000\left[ {{2^2} - {0^2}} \right] + 2000 \times 9.81 \times 0.5\)
ΔE = 14110 J
∴ Energy absorbed by brake = Ebrake = ΔE = 14110 J = 14.11 kJEnergy Conservation Question 3:
Which of the following statements about energy conversion systems are TRUE?
A) Entropy generation always occurs in real systems
B) Reversible processes produce maximum work
C) Carnot cycle is more efficient than Rankine cycle
D) Energy conversion efficiency is always above 90% in mechanical systems
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Analyzing the Given Statements about Energy Conversion Systems
A) Entropy generation always occurs in real systems.
In real systems, processes are irreversible, leading to entropy generation. Therefore, this statement is true.
B) Reversible processes produce maximum work.
Reversible processes are ideal and hypothetical; they produce the maximum possible work as there are no losses due to irreversibility. Hence, this statement is true.
C) Carnot cycle is more efficient than Rankine cycle.
The Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle and represents the maximum possible efficiency for a heat engine operating between two temperature limits. The Rankine cycle, used in practical applications like steam turbines, has lower efficiency due to real-world irreversibilities. Thus, this statement is true.
D) Energy conversion efficiency is always above 90% in mechanical systems.
This statement is not true. While some mechanical systems can have high efficiencies, it is not correct to say that they are always above 90%. There are many factors, including friction, material imperfections, and thermal losses, that can reduce efficiency below 90%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: A, B, and C only.
Energy Conservation Question 4:
A horizontal circular platform of radius 1m and mass 0.6 kg is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless guns, each carrying a bullet of mass 65 gm are attached at a distance of 0.4 m and 0.6 m from center and in opposite direction. If the guns fire simultaneously and speed of bullets are 25 m/s (each), then the magnitude of rotational speed of platform is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Angular momentum of the system about its center is conserved.
Calculation:
Given:
R = 1m, M = 0.6 kg, m1 = m2 = 65g = 0.065 kg
r1 = 0.4 m, r2 = 0.6 m, v1 = v2 = 25 m/s
Initially, whole system is at rest, therefore
Initial angular momentum (Li) = 0
After fixing of guns, let system start rotating with angular velocity ‘ω’.
Then,
Final angular momentum (Lf)
Lf = m1 u1 r1 + m2 u2 r2 + Iω
\({{\rm{L}}_{\rm{f}}}{\rm{\;}} = {m_1}{v_1}\left( {{r_1} + {r_2}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}M{R^2}.\omega \)
\({L_f} = 0.065 \times 25 \times \left( {0.4 + 0.6} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.6 \times {1^2} \cdot \omega \)
Lf = 1.625 + 0.3 ω
Conservation of angular momentum,
Li = Lf
0 = 1.625 + 0.3 ω
∴ ω = - 5.41 rad/sEnergy Conservation Question 5:
For unstable equilibrium, the second derivative of potential energy should be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
For unstable equilibrium, the second derivative should be negative. So for slight displacement, the force should take away the body from the equilibrium position
\(\frac{d^2U}{dx^2}<0\)
For stable equilibrium, the second derivative should be positive. So for slight displacement, the restoring force should act on the body
\(\frac{d^2U}{dx^2}>0\)
For Neutral equilibrium, the second derivative should be zero. So for slight displacement, there is no force
\(\frac{d^2U}{dx^2}=0\)
Types of equilibrium:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
A Fuel Cell converts chemical energy from a fuel (such as hydrogen) into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction.
Additional Information
-

-
Heat Exchanger is used for thermal energy transfer rather than electrical conversion.
-
Solar Cell converts electromagnetic radiation (solar energy) into electrical energy, not chemical.
Energy Conservation Question 7:
Based on the concept of Energy Conversion Efficiency, which of the following statements is correct?
Statement 1: The efficiency (η) of an energy device is the ratio of useful work done to the total energy used.
Statement 2: The energy wasted in a device is given by the equation (1 - η)E.
Statement 3: The efficiency of lighting devices is measured in terms of efficacy, which is the ratio of the amount of light produced to power consumed.
Statement 4: In an ideal energy device, η = 0, meaning no energy is converted into useful work.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: According to the given image, energy efficiency (η) is defined as the ratio of work done to energy used:
Work done/
Thus, it correctly describes efficiency.
Statement 2 is correct: The image states that energy wasted in the process is given by the equation (1 - η)E, where (1 - η) represents the fraction of energy that is lost as heat or inefficiency.
Statement 3 is correct: The image defines efficacy for lighting devices as the ratio of light output (in lumens) to power consumed (in watts). This means efficacy is an efficiency measurement for lighting devices.
Statement 4 is incorrect: If η = 0, it means no useful work is produced and all energy is wasted, which is the case for a completely inefficient system, not an ideal energy device. An ideal device would have η = 1 (100% efficiency), meaning all energy is converted into useful work.
Energy Conservation Question 8:
A bullet of mass 0.1 kg is fired from the gun of 1 kg with a velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the stiffness of the spring (kN/m) if the gun if it limits the recoil of the gun to 0.02 m.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Energy stored in the spring = Change in the kinetic energy of gun
½ kx2 = ½ m(v2 – u2)
Calculation:
Given:
mb = 0.1 kg, mg = 1 kg, vb = 100 m/s, recoil of the gun (x) = 0.02 m
Now,
From law of conservation of momentum
mbub + mgug = mbvb + mgvg
0 + 0 = 0.1 × 100 + 1 × vg
∴ vg = - 10 m/s
Now,
Energy stored in the spring = Change in the kinetic energy of gun
½ kx2 = ½ m(v2 – u2)
½ k (0.022) = ½ × 1 ((- 10)2 - 0)
∴ k = 250000 N/m2
∴ k = 250 kN/m2
Energy Conservation Question 9:
A solid cylinder of mass M and radius R is moving on a rough fixed surface with velocity Vo and angular velocity ωo (Vo > ωor). If the coefficient of friction between the cylinder and the surface is μ, then which of the following options are for velocity V and angular velocity ω at pure rolling?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Use force balance and apply V = Rω at pure rolling
Since there is no external torque, apply angular momentum conservation.
\(\vec T = \frac{{d\vec L}}{{dt}} = 0\)
\(\overrightarrow {{L_i}} = \overrightarrow {{L_f}}\)
Calculation:
Applying force balance
0 – μmg = macm
acm = -μg
Applying torque balance about the centre
μmgr = Icm × αcm
\(\mu mgr = \frac{{m{r^2}}}{2}{\alpha _{cm}}\)
\({\alpha _{cm}} = \frac{{2\mu g}}{r}\;\left( 1 \right)\)
Considering angular momentum about an axis passing through A and perpendicular to the paper
\(\overrightarrow {{L_A}} = \overrightarrow {{L_{cm}}} + m\left( {\vec r\; \times \vec v} \right)\)
Initially
\({L_{Ai}} = I{\omega _0} + m{v_0}r\)
\({L_{Ai}} = \frac{{m{r^2}}}{2}{\omega _0} + m{v_0}r\)
Final angular momentum (at pure rolling)
\({L_{Af}} = \frac{{m{r^2}}}{2}\omega + mvr,\;\left( {here\;v = r\omega } \right)\)
\({L_{Af}} = \frac{{3m{r^2}}}{2}\omega \)
\(\omega = {\omega _0} + \;{\alpha _{cm}}t\)
\({L_{Ai}} = {L_{Af}}\) (Since there is no external torque applied)
\(\frac{{m{r^2}}}{2}{\omega _0} + m{v_0}r = \frac{3}{2}m{r^2}\left[ {{\omega _0} + \frac{{2\mu g}}{R}t} \right]\)
\(t = \frac{1}{{3\mu g}}\left[ {{V_0} - r\omega } \right]\;\left( 2 \right)\) (option C)
Velocity at pure rolling
V = V0 + acmt (substituting (1) and (2), we get
\(V = V_0 +\frac{{2{V_0}}}{3r} +\frac{{2{}}}{3} r{\omega _0}\) (option (b))
Energy Conservation Question 10:
In a loop-the-loop roller coaster ride, the car of mass m starts from rest at point A at a height H. The loop-the-loop has a height of H/3. Assuming no friction, the speed of the roller coaster car at point B at the top of the loop-the-loop.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Energy Conservation Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The initial mechanical energy of the roller coaster at point A is completely gravitational potential energy mgH relative to a zero of potential energy at the bottom.
The energy at point B is partly gravitational potential and partly kinetic energy.
\({E_A} = mgH\)
\({E_A} = mg\frac{H}{3} + \frac{1}{2}mv_B^2\)
According to mechanical energy conservation:
\(mgH = mg\frac{H}{3} + \frac{1}{2}mv_B^2\)
\({v_B} = \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {mgH - mg\frac{H}{3}} \right)}}{m}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4gH}}{3}} \)
Important Point:
If the question was about to find the speed of the roller coaster car at point C
At point C, there is no potential energy, so that the full initial mechanical energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
\({E_A} = mgH = {E_c} = \frac{1}{2}mv_c^2 \Rightarrow {v_c} = \sqrt {2gH} \)
