2.

What is the energy of a 4 kg apple that is sitting on a 2 m high tree branch?

a)

16 J

b)

78.4 J

c)

4 J

d)

8 J

3.

What formula do you use to solve the following problem: What is the energy of a 4 kg apple that is sitting on a 2 m high tree branch?

a)

GPE = ham

b)

KE = 1/2mv2

c)

p = mv

d)

F = ma

4.

What set up do you use to solve the following problem: What is the energy of a baby who weighs 20 N sitting in a high chair 1.5 m high?

a)

KE = 12(1.5m)(20N)2KE\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\left(1.5m\right)\left(20N\right)^2

b)

GPE = 1.5m(9.8 ms2)(1.5N)GPE\ =\ 1.5m\left(9.8\ \frac{m}{s^2}\right)\left(1.5N\right)

c)

GPE = 1.5m(20N)GPE\ =\ 1.5m\left(20N\right)

d)

You can't set it up because it doesn't give you the mass & acceleration.

5.

b)

300 J

c)

294 J

d)

30 J

6.

What is the kinetic energy of a bike with a mass of 16 kg traveling at 4 m/s?

a)

64 J

b)

32 J

c)

128 J

d)

627.2 J

7.

What is the inventory of the following problem: What is the kinetic energy of a bike with a mass of 16 kg traveling at 4 m/s?

a)

16 kg

4 m/s

b)

KE = ?

m = 16 kg

v = 4 m/s

c)

m = 16 kg

h = 4 m/s

a = ?

v = 16 kg

m = 4 m/s

8.

How high is a 0.5 kg squirrel sitting if it has 36 J of energy?

a)

7.3 m

b)

72 m

c)

144 m

d)

176.4 m

9.

What is the set up for the following problem: How high is a 0.5 kg squirrel sitting if it has 36 J of energy?

a)

h=(0.5kg)(9.8ms2)(36J)h=\left(0.5kg\right)\left(9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\right)\left(36J\right)

b)

36J = h(9.8ms2)(0.5kg)36J\ =\ h\left(9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\right)\left(0.5kg\right)

c)

36J = 12(0.5kg)(v2)36J\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\left(0.5kg\right)\left(v^2\right)

d)

36J = h(0.5kg)36J\ =\ h\left(0.5kg\right)
