Introduction to Work and Energy ( Work and Energy Class 9 )

English

In our daily lives, we use the words “work” and “energy” frequently. However, in Physics, these terms have specific meanings. For example, carrying a bag while standing still may feel tiring, but no physical work is done according to Physics.

हिन्दी

हम अपने दैनिक जीवन में “कार्य” और “ऊर्जा” शब्दों का अक्सर उपयोग करते हैं। लेकिन भौतिकी में इन शब्दों का विशेष अर्थ होता है। उदाहरण के लिए, यदि कोई व्यक्ति बैग उठाकर स्थिर खड़ा है, तो उसे थकान महसूस होगी, लेकिन भौतिकी के अनुसार कोई कार्य नहीं हुआ है।

Work and Energy Class 9

What is Work?

English

Work is said to be done when a force applied on an object causes displacement in the direction of the force.

Definition

Work is done when:

  • A force acts on an object.
  • The object moves or gets displaced.
हिन्दी

जब किसी वस्तु पर लगाया गया बल उसे विस्थापित करता है, तब कार्य किया जाता है।

कार्य की परिभाषा

कार्य होने के लिए:

  • वस्तु पर बल लगना चाहिए।
  • वस्तु में विस्थापन होना चाहिए।

Conditions for Work Done

English

Two conditions are necessary:

  1. Force must act on the object.
  2. Displacement must occur.

If either condition is absent, no work is done.

हिन्दी

कार्य होने के लिए दो शर्तें आवश्यक हैं:

  1. वस्तु पर बल लगना चाहिए।
  2. वस्तु में विस्थापन होना चाहिए।

यदि इनमें से कोई भी शर्त पूरी नहीं होती, तो कार्य नहीं होगा।


Formula of Work

English
Mathematical Expression

Work = Force ( F )× Displacement ( s )

Where:

  • W = Work
  • F = Force
  • s = Displacement
हिन्दी
गणितीय सूत्र

कार्य = बल ( F ) × विस्थापन ( s )

जहाँ:

  • W = कार्य
  • F = बल
  • s = विस्थापन

SI Unit of Work

English

The SI unit of work is Joule (J).

1 Joule = Work done when a force of 1 Newton moves an object by 1 meter.

हिन्दी

कार्य का SI मात्रक जूल (Joule) है।

1 जूल वह कार्य है जो 1 न्यूटन बल द्वारा किसी वस्तु को 1 मीटर विस्थापित करने पर किया जाता है।


Types of Work

1. Positive Work

English

When force and displacement are in the same direction.

Example: Pushing a cart forward.

हिन्दी

जब बल और विस्थापन एक ही दिशा में हों।

उदाहरण: ठेला आगे धकेलना।


2. Negative Work

English

When force acts opposite to displacement.

Example: Friction.

हिन्दी

जब बल विस्थापन की विपरीत दिशा में कार्य करे।

उदाहरण: घर्षण बल।


3. Zero Work

English

When displacement is zero or force is perpendicular to displacement.

Example: Holding a bag while standing.

हिन्दी

जब विस्थापन शून्य हो या बल विस्थापन के लंबवत हो।

उदाहरण: बैग पकड़कर स्थिर खड़ा रहना।


What is Energy?

English

Energy is the capacity to do work.

Without energy, no work can be performed.

Work and Energy Class 9
हिन्दी

ऊर्जा कार्य करने की क्षमता है।

ऊर्जा के बिना कोई कार्य नहीं किया जा सकता।


Forms of Energy

English
  • Mechanical Energy
  • Heat Energy
  • Light Energy
  • Electrical Energy
  • Chemical Energy
  • Sound Energy
  • Nuclear Energy
हिन्दी
  • यांत्रिक ऊर्जा
  • ऊष्मीय ऊर्जा
  • प्रकाश ऊर्जा
  • विद्युत ऊर्जा
  • रासायनिक ऊर्जा
  • ध्वनि ऊर्जा
  • नाभिकीय ऊर्जा

Kinetic Energy

English

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called kinetic energy.

Formula

KE = ½ mv²

Where:

  • m = Mass
  • v = Velocity
हिन्दी

किसी वस्तु की गति के कारण प्राप्त ऊर्जा को गतिज ऊर्जा कहते हैं।

सूत्र

KE = ½ mv²


Potential Energy

English

The energy possessed by an object due to its position or configuration is called potential energy.

Formula

Potential Energy = mgh

Where:

  • m = Mass
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity
  • h = Height
हिन्दी

स्थिति या ऊँचाई के कारण प्राप्त ऊर्जा को स्थितिज ऊर्जा कहते हैं।

सूत्र

स्थितिज ऊर्जा = mgh


Law of Conservation of Energy

English

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, it can be transformed from one form to another.

Example

A falling ball converts potential energy into kinetic energy.

हिन्दी

ऊर्जा न तो उत्पन्न की जा सकती है और न ही नष्ट की जा सकती है। यह केवल एक रूप से दूसरे रूप में परिवर्तित होती है।


Power

English

Power is the rate of doing work.

Formula

Power = Work / Time

P = W / t

SI Unit

Watt (W)

हिन्दी

कार्य करने की दर को शक्ति कहते हैं।

सूत्र

P = W / t

SI मात्रक

वाट (W)

HOTS Questions ( Work and Energy Class 9 )

1.

Why does a person carrying a suitcase on a horizontal road do no work according to Physics?

Answer: Because the force is vertical while displacement is horizontal.


2.

Can an object have energy without motion?

Answer: Yes. An object at a height possesses potential energy.
