1. A person is performing a lift against a 400 N load.

The load moves vertically

through a distance of 20 cm in a time of 0.25 s.
F = 400 N; d = 0.2 m; t = 0.25s

(a) How much work was done on the load?

W = Fd = (400 N)(0.2 m) = 80 Joules

(b) What is the person's average power during the lift?

P=W/ t = 80 J / 0.25s = 320 Watts

(c) What is the load's increased potential energy after the lift?
PE = mgh = Fd = (400 N)(0.2 m) = 80 Joules
2. If the load mentioned above was moving at 7.0 m/s after moving 10 cm, what was
its total energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy at this point (assume that the load
started 50 cm from the ground)?
F = 400 N = mg
vf = 7.0 m/s
df = 0.6 m
di = 0.5 m
vi = 0 m/s
m = F/g = 400 N / 9.81 N/kg = 40.8 kg
KE = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 (40.8 kg)(7.0 m/s)2
= 1000 J
PE = mgh = Fd = (400 N)(0.6 m)
= 240 J
Et = KE + PE = 1240 J

vertical velocity of 2.0 m/s?
m = 30 kg
vv = 2.0 m/s
dto apex = ?
g = -9.81 m/s
According to the law of conservation of energy, KE + PE = constant. Initially
PE = 0, and at the apex KE = 0; so,
KEi = PEapex
1/2 mv2 = mgh
1/2 v2 = gh
h = v2/2g = (2.0 m/s)2 / 2(9.81 m/s2)
h = 0.2 m

P = W/t = Fd/t = Fv = (500 N)(6 m/s) = 3000 Watts

5. What work is done when an object is lowered 1.80 m if the object has a mass of 700
kg?

100 km/h and is then stopped by the catcher in .01 s?
m = 0.360 kg
vi = 100 km/h = (100 km/h)(3600 s/h) /(1000 m/km) = 360 m/s
vf = 0 m/s
t = 0.01 s
I=?
I = Ft = m v = 0.360 kg (0 - 360 m/s) = -130 Ns
7. How high would you have to drop an 80 N object so that it will have a kinetic
energy of 2000 J when it hit the ground?
F = 80 N = mg
KE = 2000 J
h=?
due to law of conservation of energy, KE at ground = PE at apex
KEi = PEapex
1/2 mv2 = mgh
2000 J = (80 N) h
h = (2000 J) /(80 N) = 25 m

8. A 55 kg person moves at the constant speed of 7 m/s along a straight stretch of

track. What is the person's:
(a) acceleration
m = 55 kg
v = 7 m/s
 if velocity is constant, then a = 0

(b) momentum
M = mv = (55kg)(7 m/s) = 385 kg m/s

(c) kinetic energy

KE = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2(55 kg)(7.0 m/s)2 = 1348 J

9. How much work is done to stop an 90 kg football player who is running at 8.5 m/s,
horizontally, and you do not have to knock him down?
m = 90 kg
vi = 8.5 m/s
vf = 0 m/s
W=?
The work you do must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to his
kinetic energy.

Question #11
Dino Dude is peacefully floating over the water when a big blue bird pops his
balloons, causing Dino Dude to fall 10 m before crashing into the water. If Dino Dude
has a mass of 20 kg, what is his velocity immediately before impact with the water?
The principle of conservation of mechanical energy must be used to solve the first part
of this problem. The total mechanical energy Dino Dude possesses at a height of 10 m
is his potential energy. Immediately before impact with the water, his gravitational
potential energy can be assumed to be 0 and 100% of his mechanical energy will then
be kinetic.

Find the total energy possessed by Dino Dude

PE + KE = Constant
magh + 1/2 mv2 = Constant
(20 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(10 m) + 1/2 (20 kg)(0)2 = Constant
1962 J = Constant
Find Dino Dude's velocity just before impact
PE + KE = 1962 J
magh + 1/2 mv2 = 1962 J
(20 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0 m) + 1/2 (20 kg)(v2) = 1962 J
v2 = 196.2 m2/s2
v = 14.0 m/s

Charge and Current

Charge
Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter
consists, measured in Coulombs (C).

The following should be noted about electrical charge:

The coulomb is a large unit for charges. In 1C of charge, the number of

electrons is,

According to experimental observations, the only charges that occur in

nature are integral multiples of the electronic charge of,

The law of conservation of charge states that charge can neither be

created nor destroyed only transferred. Thus the algebraic sum of the electric
charges in a system does not change.

Current
Current or electric current is the time rate of change of charge, measured in
amperes (A). Mathehmatically, the relationship between current i, charge q,
and time t is,
 Where current is measured in amperes (A), and 1 ampere = 1
coulomb/second.
The charge transferred between initial time t0 and t is obtained by
integrating both sides of I. Thus,

Examples:
1. How much charge is represented by 4,600 electrons?

Solution:

As we learned earlier, each electrons has a -1.602 x 10-19C.

Hence, a 4600 electrons will have a
1.602 10-19 Coulumb/electrons 4600 electrons = 7.369 10-16C

2. Calculate the amount of charge represented by two million protons.

Since the sign of proton is (+) and also equal to 1.602 10-19C.
Hence, 2 000 000 000 protons is equal to

Getting the derivative will give us

At t = 0.5s,

Therefore i = 31.42mA

4. Q = (10 10e-2t), find the current at t = 0.5s

Solution:

At t = 0.5s,

Therefore, the current at t = 0.5s is 7.36mA

5. Determine the total charge entering a terminal between t = 1 and t = 2s

Voltage
Voltage or potential difference is the energy required to move a unit charge through an
element, measured in volts. Mathematically, we can determine voltage by using this
equation:

Where w is work in Joules (J) and q is charge in Coulombs (C).

Examples:
1. An energy source forces a constant current of 2A for 10s to flow through a lightbulb. If
2.3kJ is given off in the form of light and heat energy, calculate the voltage drop across the
bulb.
Solution:
We learned that so q = 2 10 = 20C
The total voltage drop is

2. To move charge q from point a to point b requires J. Find the voltage drop if (a) q = 2C (b)

Power and Energy

Power
Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy, measured in Watts (W).
Mathematically, we can determine power by using the equation,

Passive sign convention is satisfied when the current enters through the positive terminal
of an element and p = +vi. If the current enters through the negative terminal, p = -vi.

Energy
Energy is the capacity to do work, measured in Joules (J).
1 Wh = 3600J

Examples:
1. Find the power delivered to an element at t = 3ms if the current entering its positive
terminal is i=5 cos 60t A. And the voltage is (a) v = 3i (b) v = 3di/dt.
Solution:
(a) The voltage is v = 3i = 15 cos 60 t; hence, the power is
p = vi = 75 cos2 60 t W
At t = 3ms,
p = 75 cos2 (60 3 10-3) = 75 cos2 0.18 = 53.48 W
(b) We find the voltage and the power as:

At t = 3ms,

p = -6.396kW
