Work Power And Energy
Physics
1. What is the work done against gravity when a body is moved horizontally
along a frictionless surface?
2. Does the power needed to raise a box onto a platform depend on how fast it
is raised? By how much will the kinetic energy of body increase if its speed is
tripled and when speed is halved?
3. Which would have a greater effect on the kinetic energy of an object doubling
the mass or doubling the velocity?
4. How fast should a man of 50 kg run so that his kinetic energy is 625 J?
( Ans: 5 m/s )

or both:

In loading a truck, a man lifts boxes of 100 n each through a height of
1.5 m.
i) How much work does he do in lifting one box?
ii) Howmuch energy is transferred when one box is lifted?
iii) If the man lifts 4 boxes per minute, at what power is he working?
( Ans: W= 150 J, E= 150 J, P=
10 W )
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the
best.
