Explanation

• An electric fan uses electrical energy to rotate its blades, producing mechanical motion.
• This mechanical energy helps in circulating air to provide cooling.

Explanation

• The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J).
• It is the unit of energy, work, and heat.

Additional information:

• 1 Joule (J) = 1 Newton × 1 meter
• Calorie – 1 cal = 4.184 J
• Kilowatt-hour (kWh) – 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J
• Electronvolt (eV) – 1 eV ≈ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
• Erg (CGS unit) – 1 erg = 10⁻⁷ J

Explanation

Newton's second law relates force, mass and acceleration.

Acceleration = Force ÷ Mass = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 m/s².

Explanation

• Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion.
• Greater mass means greater inertia.

Explanation

• The direction of velocity continuously changes during circular motion.
• Centripetal acceleration acts toward the centre of the circular path.
• Constant speed does not mean constant velocity.

Explanation

• The product of mass and velocity is known as momentum. P = MV
• If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity), then the object's momentum p is: p=mv
• It is a vector quantity.
• It having both magnitude and direction.
• Common symbols: p, p
• SI unit: kg⋅m⋅s−1
• Dimension MLT^−1

Explanation

• The unit of pressure is N/m² (Newton per square meter).
• It is also called Pascal (Pa).
• Pressure means force applied per unit area.
• Higher force or smaller area increases pressure.

Explanation

• The signed area under a velocity-time graph gives displacement.
• Area above the time axis is positive, while area below it is negative.
• The total distance travelled is obtained by adding the absolute areas.

Explanation

• The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of an object.
• Speed is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time.
• A steeper slope indicates greater speed, while a horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Explanation

• Mars is known as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance.
• Its surface contains iron oxide (rust) which gives it a red color.
• It is the 4th planet from the Sun in the solar system.
• Mars has two small moons: Phobos and Deimos.
• Mars is often called the “planet of future exploration”.
