Mr. B's and Mr. P's classes competed in a game of tug of war. Mr. B's class pulled to the right with a force of 4,000 N. Mr. P's class pulled to the left with a force of 5,000 N. As a result the rope moved 5.1 m to the left. How much work was done by the net force?

• 4100 J

• 3100 J

• 5100 J

• 45900 J

How are work and energy related? 

• The work done by an external force acting on an object causes a change in the mechanical energy of the object.

• Work is the same thing as energy.  They are equal. 

• Energy is m*g*h, and work is 1/2*m*v²

Mike and Peter are climbing to the top. Both take the same time, do the same route, but Mike has a mass of 25 kg while Peter has a mass of 30 kg. (He is a bit taller). Which penguin does the most work and why.

• Mike as shorter people have shorter legs and does more work.

• Peter as he does more work over the same time than Mike because he has a bigger weight force

• Mike and Peter do the same amount of work as they do the same route in the same time.

• Peter as he does the same amount of work but in a smaller amount of time.

A 10 kg mass is lifted to 3 m. What is its weight? What is its potential energy? How much work is being done?

• Weight = 30 N

  PE = 30 J

  Work = 294 J

• Weight = 10 kg

  PE = 10 J

  Work = 30 J

• Weight = 98 N

  PE = 294 J

  Work = 294 J

• Weight = 98 N

  PE = 294 J

  Work = 30 J

What is the definition of power?

• Power is the product of force and velocity.

• Power is the product of force and work done per unit time.

• Power is the product of force per unit time and velocity.

• Power is the rate at which work is done.
