Section one: Work, Energy and Machines

1)a) Define work and state its S.I unit.
b) the work done by a constant force is 30 J. What does
this mean?
2) If the work done by a resultant force of 5 N acting
on a brick of 3 kg, moving it horizontally from rest is
40 J . Calculate the displacement of the brick by the
force.
3) How much work is done when a force of 12 N
moves an object a distance of 5 m?
4) A tow truck pulls a car 5.0 km along a horizontal
roadway using a cable having a tension of 850 N. How
much work does the cable do on the car if it pulls
i)horizontally?
ii)at 35o above the horizontal?
5) A girl pulls her box of cloth with a force of 30 N. if
she does 50 J of work during the process; calculate the
distance moved by the box when a frictional force of 5
N acts between the box and the floor.
6) An egg falls from a nest at a height of 3.0m. What
speed will it have when it is 0.50m from the
ground?
7) Define energy and state its S.I unit.
b) State the law of conservation of energy.
8) Copy and complete the following;
i) In an electric kettle ………….. energy is changed
into …………… energy.
ii) When a car is moving and its brakes are applied,
the ……. energy of car is changed into………. energy.
iii) An object is said to possess …………. energy
because of the …………. energy and …………. energy
of its molecules.
9) A builder 1.7 m tall lifts a 50 kg bag of cement
from the floor up to his head. Calculate the gain in
potential energy of the bag on the builder’s head.
10) Energy from petrol is used to operate an engine. The engine drives a generator, which produces electrical energy.
