Answer» a) Energy is defined as the ability to do work and joule is the SI unit of energy. b) Following are the various forms of energy: Kinetic energy, potential energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, sound energy, light energy, and heat energy. c) Let the mass of both the bodies be m Velocity of body 1, v1 = v Velocity of body 2, v2 = 2v KE1 = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 m(v1) 2 KE2 = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 m(v2)2 Ratio = KE1 : KE2 = 1/4 |
