Power questions

PFY, p. 120

f) Work, watts, joules, time

g) joule per second

13) P= Wd/t= 1000/5= 200 watts

14) Wd= F*d= 300*2

P= Wd/t= 600/6= 100 watts

16)Wd= F*d= 3000*10= 30000

P= Wd/t = 30000/4= 7500 watts= 7.5 kilowatts

4.14

·         4.14 describe power as the rate of transfer of energy or the rate of doing work

"Rate" just means "divided by time" (see Entrance Activity)

 

So

 

Power = Energy / Time

 

or

 

Power = Work done / Time

4.14 Entrance Activity Answers

·         You can run up the stairs in the Science block in 30 seconds.

·         Mr. Roff can run up the stairs in the Science block in 20 seconds.

·         Who is the most powerful?  Why?

·         Mr Roff.  He does more work running up the stairs (because has a higher weight) in a shorted time so he is more powerful

 

·         It takes 2 minutes to fill the 20 litre sinks in this room with water. 

·         How fast is the sink filling?

·         10 litres/min

·         At what rate is the sink filling?

·         10 litres/min

·         How long would it take to fill a 10 litre sink?

·         1 min

CoE questions

19. a) W= mg= 50*10= 500N
b) GPE= wh= 500*4= 2000 J
c) GPE=KE=2000 J

3. a) GPE= mgh= 30*35*10=10500 J
b) KE= GPE
10500= 0.5mv2
v2= 600
v=24.5 m/s

c) Not all of the GPE is transferred to KE because some energy is wasted due to friction.

4.13

· 4.13 understand how conservation of energy produces a link between gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy and work

1.      a) joules, force, distance

b) newton, meter, force

d) energy

      2. Wd= F*d

            Wd= 5*2=10J

      4.a)  Wd= F*d

            Wd= 500*40= 2 kJ

         b) Chemical energy from food

            GPE as she walks up

1.      a) W= m*g= 400*10= 4000N

Wd= F*d

50000= 4000N*d

d= 12.5m
