Energy Work Power

How much work is done in holding a 15 N sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes?

• 15 J
• 45 J
• 0 J
• 5 J

What is the difference between calculating power and work?

• Power takes into account the time it takes to complete a task
• Work takes into account the time it takes to complete a task
• Power is force/area
• Work is force/area

The roller coaster car has a mass of 500 kg. It is pulled from position 1 to 2 (30 m) by a motor. At the top of the ride the vertical distance top to bottom is 20 m. The motor pulls the car with a 4000 N force. Calculate the work done getting the car to the top of the ride.

• 100 000J

• 120 000J

• 800 000J

• 90 000J
