Work, power And Kinetic Energy Flashcards
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy (Ek) = 1/2 mv²
Where m is mass and v is velocity.
How much kinetic energy does a 25 kg ball moving at 2 m/s have?
5 Joules
Calculated using the formula for kinetic energy.
If a marble is thrown with a velocity of 3 m/s, what is the kinetic energy if its mass is 0.09 kg?
0.405 Joules
Calculated using the kinetic energy formula.
What does power measure in physics?
The amount of energy transferred per second
Power (P) = Work done (J) / Time (s).
What is the unit of power?
Watts (W)
1 Watt = 1 Joule/second.
How is power calculated?
Power (P) = Work done (J) / Time (s)
Rearranges to find work done: Work done = Power x Time.
What is the power of a person weighing 480 N climbing stairs of height 10 m in 12 s?
400 Watts
Power calculated as P = Work done / Time.
How much work is done when a box is pushed 5 m against a friction force of 60 N?
300 Joules
Work done (WD) = Force x Distance.
Fill in the blank: Work done = _______ x Distance.
Force
This is the fundamental equation for calculating work done.
What is the total work done by a person climbing 6.5 m up a ladder with a mass of 60 kg?
5200 Joules
Weight = mass x gravity.
True or False: Power is the same as work done.
False
Power is the rate of doing work, not work itself.
What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
Potential Energy (PE) = mass x gravity x height
Commonly used to calculate energy in vertical movements.
Calculate the work done if a tractor pulls a plough 60 m doing 12,000,000 J of work.
The frictional force can be calculated as 200,000 N
Using the formula: Work done = Force x Distance.
How much energy does a 1.2 kW motor transfer if it is used for 3 minutes?
216,000 Joules
Energy = Power x Time.
What is the mean power required for an athlete performing 50 press-ups per minute for 6 minutes, raising his center of mass 24 cm?
64,800 Watts
Total work done calculated from the distance raised and mass.
Fill in the blank: The equation for Work Done is _______ x Distance.
Force
This indicates that work is dependent on both the force applied and the distance moved.
