Work
1. Two boxes each weighing 4 kg are to be lifted onto the
cupboard. If the height of the cupboard is 1.5 m, calculate the
energy that is required to lift the boxes.
(Energy required = Work done)
2. A wooden box is dragged across a distance of 3.2 m with a
force of 25 N. How much work is done?
3. Leong pulling his luggage with a force of 80 N for a
distance of 5.0 m. What is the work done by him.
4. Ahmad weighing 600 N walks 160 m. How much work has
Ahmad done?
5. Johnson uses up 8000 J to push a rock over a distance of 80
m. Calculate the magnitude of force required.
6. Salman who has a weight of 620 N, walks from Kampung
T to Kampung U. The work done by him is 2 480 J. Calculate
the distance covered by him.
Power
7. A boy who weighs 400 N climbs up a ladder that is 5 m
high. He takes 10 seconds to reach the top of the ladder. How
much power did he use?
8. A man weighing 720 N pushes a car with a weight of 6000
N for a distance of 2 m in 4 minutes. Calculate the power used
by the man to push the car.
9. A boy whose mass is 45 kg climbs up a flight of steps 8 m
high. If the boy’s average power is 400 watts, how long does
he take to reach the top of the steps?
10. A hill climber climbs up a hill 900 m high in 25 minutes. If
the power generated by the climber is 360 W, calculate the
weight of the climber?
11. An electric motor takes 6 seconds to carry a load of 5 N to
a height of 60 m. How much power required by electric motor?
12. An elevator is able to load up passengers with 1400 kg
from the lowest floor to the highest floor of a 100 metres
building. If the power needed to lift up the passengers by the
elevator is 400 kW, calculate the time taken by the elevator to
reach the highest floor of the building.
(1 kW = 1000 watts)
