Work, Power, and Energy Review

Which does not illustrate kinetic energy?

• It is expressed in Joule.

• It depends upon the objects’ mass and speed.

• It is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

• It depends upon the objects’ mass and objects’ height.

A roller coaster whose average speed is 32 m/s is at the top of a 72m hill and weighs 966N. At the top of the hill the coaster car has ___________________ energy.

• only kinetic energy

• only potential energy

• mostly kinetic energy

• both kinetic and potential energy

A 100 N force is applied to move an object a horizontal distance of 5 meters at constant speed in 10 seconds. How much power is done?

• 50J

• 50W

• 500J

• 500W

Which statement illustrates work done?

• A weightlifter holds a barbell above her head.

• A teacher applies a force to a wall and becomes exhausted.

• A rolling marble hits a note card and moves it across a table.

• A waiter carries a tray full of meals across a dining room at a constant speed.

A weightlifter holds a 100 kg barbell above her head. Is work done?

• Yes because there is a force applied to the barbell and the force causes a displacement of the barbell.

• Yes because there is an upward force applied to the barbell and the barbell moves vertically.

• No because no displacement occurred.

• No because there is no force applied.

What is the energy possessed by the cart?

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• mostly potential

• mostly kinetic
