height of 25m in 15 minutes?
2. An 80 kg man walks up a 50m plank which is inclined 30 o with the horizontal, in 4
minutes. Calculate the power of the man.
3. A 1.5 hp airconditioner used to cool a room for 2 hours. Find the amount of work
done by the airconditioner.

gadget has a power of 60 watt and is used to slide load to a distance of 3m. what is
the maximum load it can slide in ¾ of a minute, assuming that the coefficient of
friction between the load and concrete floor is 0.18?

WORK

Find the potential energy of the crate when it is at the higher end of the plank.
4. Calculate the kinetic energy of 500 g ball which runs at the rate of 2 m/s.
5. What is the kinetic energy of a 1 ton car running at the rate of 90 km/hr?
ANSWER KEY  POWER

1. 1000m3 – volume of water

25m – height

15min = 900 s – time

1st: get the mass through the density formula

Mass = volume x density = (1000 m3) (1000 kg/m3)

Mass of water = 1 x 106 kg

2nd: solve for the power with work = PE

Power = energy/ time

P = mgh /t

P= (1x 106)(9.8)(25) / (900)

P = 272,222.22 Watts

2. 80 kg - mass

(cos30o)(50m) = 43.30 m - distance

4mins =240 s – time

P = PE/t

P = (80)(9.8)(43.30) / 240

P = 141.45 Watts

3. 1.5 hp = 1119 Watts

2 hours = 7200 seconds

W=Pxt

W = (1119) (7200)

W = 8,056,800 J
4. maximum height

1.5 hp = 1119 watts

0.5 ton = 500 kg

20mins = 1200 s

P = mgh / t

H max = Pt / mg

H max = (1119 x 1200) / (500 x 9.8)

Hmax = 274.04 meters

5. maximum load

60 Watts – power

3 m – distance

¾ of a minute = 45 seconds - time

0.18 – coefficient of Friction

Pt / h = mg(coefficient)

(60)(45) / 3 = m(9.8)(0.18)

900 = m (1.764)

Mass = 510.20 kg

ANSWER KEY  WORK

1. L2

40 kg – m1

50kg – m2

2m – L1

(40)(9.8)(2) = (50)(9.8)(L2)

784 = 490 L2
L2 = 1.6 m

2. Fe

490 N - Fr

15cm –Ra

40 cm – Rw

FeRw = FrRa

Fe(40) = 490 (15)

(40) Fe = 7350

Fe = 183.75 N

3. Fe

3.5 m – L

100 kg – mass

1.5 m – h

FeL=Wh

Fe(3.5) = (100)(9.8)(1.5)

Fe(3.5) = 1470

Fe = 420 N

4. 1.5 ton = 1500 kg – m

1.4 cm – p
35 m – L

a. Fe2πL = Frp

Fe(2π)(35) = 1500(9.8)(0.4)

Fe(219.91) = 5880

Fe = 26.74 N

b. MA = Fr/Fe
MA = 1500 x 9.8 / 26.74

MA = 549.74

5. Fe

3 fix & 2 movable pulley

500 kg – m

Fr = nFe

(500)(9.8) = 5(Fe)

4900 = 5Fe

980 N = Fe

ANSWER KEY  ENERGY

1. PE

50kg - m

250 m - h

PE = mgh

PE = (50)(9.8)(250)

PE= 122,500 J

2. PE

40 L – volume

15 m – height

mass = density x volume

m = (1kg/L)(40 L)

m = 40kg

PE=mgh

PE=(40)(9.8)(15)

PE = 5880 J
3. PE

10kg – m

(5m)(cos30o) – h

PE=mgh

PE=(10)(9.8)(5cos30)

PE=424.35 J

4. KE

500g = 0.5 kg – m

2m/s – v

KE = ½ mv2

KE = ½ (0.5)(2)2

KE = 1 J

5. KE

1 ton = 1000 kg – m

90 km/hr = 25 m/s – v

KE = ½ mv2

KE = ½ (1000)(25)2

KE = 312,500 J
