Potential energy

Kinetic energy

 

If the object is in motion, then it has Kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

Q:

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train?
     

A) 42 kmph B) 43 kmph
C) 40 kmph D) 45 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 kmph

Explanation:

We know that,  Speed = Distance/time

 

Let the speed of the train be = x kmph

           NORMAL SPEED                           SPEED 5 KMPH MORE

          Distance = 360 Km                         Distance =360
 
          speed    =  X Kmph                        Speed = (x+5)
 
            Time =360/X                              Time =360/(x+15)
          

 

For the same journey if the speed increased 10 kmph more it will take 1 hour less

 


Time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1

 => (360/x) - (360/x+10) =  1                               

 =>  (360(x+5)-360x)/x(x+5) =1

 =>   360X + 1800 -360X  = X(X+5)

  =>   X^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0

  X = 40 or -45

 X cannot be negetive value
                  

 X = 40 kmph.

Q:

Arun took a loan of Rs. 29000 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Rs. 10440 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?

A) 5.5% B) 6%
C) 6.5% D) 7%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6%

Explanation:

Principle amount = Rs. 29000

Interest = Rs. 10440

Let rate of interest = r%

=> So, time = r years

According to the question,

10440 = 29000 x r x r/100

290 x r x r = 10440

r x r = 1044/29 = 36

r = 6

 

Hence, the rate of interest = 6% and time = 6 yrs.
