ACTIVITY Work Energy and Power

This document provides examples to calculate work, energy (gravitational potential and kinetic), and power. It includes calculation questions for a person pulling a block, pushing a block, and pushing a lawn mower to calculate work. Questions about gravitational potential energy include a girl climbing stairs, a tourist at the top of the Sears Tower, and a person in the highest inhabited village. Kinetic energy questions provide mass and speed values to calculate kinetic energy for various objects. Power questions give work and time values to calculate power output for a motor, a person's work, and pushing an object over a distance.

WORK
1. A person pulls a block 2 m along a horizontal surface by a constant force of 20 N. Determine the work done by
force acting on the block.

2. A block is pushed by a force of 200 N. The block’s displacement is 2 meters. What is the work done on the block?

3. Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do?

GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY


1. A 36-kg girl walks to the top of stairs that are 2.0-m high. How much gravitational potential energy does the girl
gain?

2. What is the gravitational potential energy associated with a 75 kg tourist at the top floor of the Sears Tower in
Chicago, with respect to the street 436 m below?
3. With an elevation of 5334 m above sea level, the village of Aucanquilca, Chile is the highest inhabited town in the
world. What would be the gravitational potential energy associated with a 64 kg person in Aucanquilca?

KINETIC ENERGY
1. What is the Kinetic Energy of a 1200 kg object that is moving with a speed of 24 m/s?

2. A car is traveling with a velocity of 40 m/s and has a mass of 1120 kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of the car.

3. What is the Kinetic Energy of a 350 kg object that is moving with a speed of 12.5 m/s?

POWER
1. A motor does 5,000 J of work in 20 seconds. What is the power of the motor?

2. If it takes 5 seconds for you to do 1000 J of work, what is your power output?

3. Suppose a force of 100 N is used to push an object a distance of 5 meters in 15 seconds. Find the work being done
and the power of the situation.
