Question
When do we say that work is done? Write the formula for the work done by a body in moving up against gravity. Give the meaning of each symbol which occurs in it.
✓

Answer

Work is said to be done when the force applied on a body produces motion in it. Work done by a body in moving up is given by:$W = m \times g \times h$ where $W$ is the work done against the gravity. $m$ = mass of the body. $g$ = acceleration due to gravity.

The substance $X$ normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance $X$ is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance $Y$ which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance $X$ is heated strongly, it changes into a substance $Z$ which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
  1. Name the substances $(i) X$ $(ii) Y$ and $(iii) Z.$
  2. What is the process of conversion of $X$ into $Y$ known as$?$
  3. At which temperature $X$ gets converted into $Y$?
  4. What is the process of conversion of $X$ into $Z$ known as$?$
