PS Work and Power

Multiple Choice

Why is the concept of work and power important in our daily lives?

• Because it helps us understand how machines operate and how we use energy.

• Because it only applies to scientists and engineers.

• Because it is only relevant in sports.

• Because it is not related to energy transfer.

Open Ended

Explain how work and energy are related when a force causes a body to move through a distance.

Multiple Choice

What are the SI units for work?

• Joules (J)

• Watts (W)

• Kilograms (kg)

• Centimetres (cm)

Multiple Choice

Which of the following equations correctly represents the relationship between work, force, and distance?

• W = F x d

• W = F + d

• W = F / d

• W = d / F

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the blank: The equation for calculating force when work and distance are known is F =

/ d.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following calculations would you use to find the distance moved if you know the work done and the force applied?

• d = W / F

• d = F x W

• d = F / W

• d = W + F

Try number 6 in your notes.

Don't forget to Guess and show your work.

Did you get 500 --> Good, but you forgot something. Make sure you have your units!

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the blank: Work is done when a

moves through a distance.

Try number 7 in your notes

Don't forget to Guess and show your work.

Did you get 75 --> Good, but you forgot something. Make sure you have your units

Fill in the Blanks

Fill in the Blank: The amount of

transferred is also equal to the work done.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct formula for power as described in the slides?

• Power = Work done / Time taken

• Power = Force x Distance

• Power = Energy x Time

• Power = Work done x Time

Fill in the Blanks

The work done is measure in

.

How much energy does a 60 watt light bulb use for every second it is on?

P=E/t
Have to rearrange the equation to get E.

E=Pt
E= 60*1= 60 Joules

Multiple Select

Select all the quantities that are measured in joules (J) according to the slides.

• Work done

• Energy

• Power

• Time

Now try number 12 in your notes

P=E/t

Did you get 100 --> Good, what are your units?

Now try number 13 in your notes

Hint- you need to find how much work they do first and then solve for each of their power.

Multiple Choice

Which formula is used to calculate the power of an electric motor that lifts a mass upwards?

• P = t / F

• P = mgh

• P = W * t

• P = W / t

Multiple Choice
