Question
If an automobile engine is overheated, it is cooled by putting water on it. It is advised that the water should be put slowly with engine running. Explain the reason.

Answer

In a hot engine the hot parts are expanded because of heat, if cold water is poured suddenly then there will be uneven thermal contraction in the parts. This will result in a stress to develop between the various parts of the engine and may let the engine to crack down.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The gravitational potential energy of an object at a point above the ground is defined as the work done in raising it from the ground by height h to that point against gravity. Let the work done on the object against gravity be W. That is, work done, W = force × displacement = mg × h Therefore potential energy (PE) = mg*h. The dimensions of potential energy are $[ML^2T^{-2}]$ and the unit is joule (J), the same as kinetic energy or work. To reiterate, the change in potential energy, for a conservative force, $\triangle\text{V}$ is equal to the negative of the work done by the force $\triangle\text{v}=−\text{F}(\text{x})\triangle\text{x}.$ Conservation of mechanical energy: Suppose that a body undergoes displacement $\triangle\text{x}$ under the action of a conservative force F. Then from the WE theorem we have, $ \triangle\text{K}=\text{F}(\text{x})\triangle\text{x}$ If the force is conservative, the potential energy function V(x) can be defined such that $-\triangle\text{V}=\text{F}(\text{x})\triangle\text{x}$ The above equations imply that $\triangle\text{K}+\triangle\text{V}=0$ or $\triangle(\text{K}+\text{V})=0.$ Which means that K + V, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the body is a constant? Over the whole path, $x_i$ to $x_f$, this means that $K_i + V(x_i ) = Kf + V(x_f )$. The quantity K +V(x), is called the total mechanical energy of the system. Individually the kinetic energy K and the potential energy V(x) may vary from point to point, but the sum is a constant. The aptness of the term ‘conservative force’ is now clear. Let us consider some of the definitions of a conservative force.
  • A force F(x) is conservative if it can be derived from a scalar quantity V(x).
  • The work done by the conservative force depends only on the end points. This can be seen from the relation, W = Kf – Ki = V (xi ) – V(xf ) which depends on the end points.
  • A third definition states that the work done by this force in a closed path is zero. This is once again apparent since xi = xf .
Thus, the principle of conservation of total mechanical energy can be stated as the total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces, doing work on it, are conservative.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $1$ to $5$. When an object moves along a straight line with uniform acceleration, it is possible to relate its velocity, acceleration during motion and the distance covered by it in a certain time interval by a set of equations known as the equations of motion. For convenience, a set of three such equations are given below: $v = u + at $$\text{s}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^2$ $2a s = v^2 – u^2$ Where u is the initial velocity of the object which moves with uniform acceleration a for Time $t, v$ is the final velocity and s is the distance travelled by the object in time.
