How much power is required to raise a 200-kg crate a vertical distance of 2 m in a time of 4 s?
1000 W
In an ideal pulley system, a woman lifts an 80-N crate by pulling a rope downward with a force of 20 N. For every 1-meter length of rope she pulls downward, the crate rises
25 cm
When you do 1000 J of work on a car jack and the gravitational potential energy of the car is increased by 300 J, the efficiency of the jack is
30%
When two identical cars, one traveling twice as fast as the other, brake to a stop using old-fashioned brakes, the faster car will skid
4 times as far.
A model airplane moves twice as fast as another identical model airplane. Compared with the kinetic energy of the slower airplane, the kinetic energy of the faster airplane is
4 times as much.
An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when its speed is doubled?
4 times the KE
How much work is done on a 200-kg crate that is hoisted 2 m in a time of 4 s?
4000 J
A shiny sports car at the top of a vertical cliff has a potential energy of 100 MJ relative to the ground below. Unfortunately, a mishap occurs and it falls over the edge. When it is halfway to the ground, its kinetic energy is
50 MJ.
Which of the following equations is most directly useful for solving a problem that asks for the distance a speeding vehicle skids in coming to a stop?
Fd = ∆(1/2 mv2)
A simple machine CANNOT multiply
energy
Which of these forms of energy is NOT renewable?
fossil-fuel power
When a car is braked to a stop, unless it is a hybrid, its kinetic energy is transformed to
heat
If a charging elephant has kinetic energy, it must also have
momentum.
A model airplane moves 3 times as fast as another identical model airplane. Compared with the kinetic energy of the slower airplane, the kinetic energy of the faster airplane is
more than 4 times as much.
When an increase in speed doubles the momentum of a moving body, its kinetic energy
more than doubles
A dog and a mouse run down the road with the same KE. The faster moving one is the
mouse
A pendulum bob swings to and fro. Its kinetic energy and its potential energy relative to the bottom of its swing are the same at
one-half the vertical distance between the bottom and the top of the swing.
When work is done twice as quickly, then the power expended is
twice
A 1-kg ball has twice the speed as a 2-kg ball. Compared with the 1-kg ball, the 2-kg ball has
twice the kinetic energy.
The most energy per unit mass can be extracted from
uranium.
