    The document discusses power and efficiency concepts in physics including definitions and sample problems. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. Efficiency is defined as using less energy to perform the same task. Sample problems calculate power required to lift masses, power dissipated by brakes, and power output of a person jogging up stairs.

    Sample Problems:

    Example 1
    An electric hoists lift a 500 kg mass at a constant speed of 0.76 m/s while
    consuming 4.5 KW of power.

    a. Compute the output power.


    b. Compute the efficiency of the hoist.
    c. At what constant speed can the hoist lift a 750 kg mass with the same
    power consumption.
    Solution:
    An electric hoists lift a 500 kg mass at a constant speed of 0.76 m/s while consuming 4.5 KW
    of power.

    Determine the following:

    Sample Problems:

    Example 2
    a. A 60 kg woman rides a 7 kg bicycle up a 3% slope at a constant speed of 2 m/s.
    How much power must be developed by the woman?
    b. A 90 kg man on a 9 kg bicycle starts down the 3% slope and maintains a
    constant speed of 6 m/s by braking. How much power is dissipated by the brakes?
    c. A 54 kg woman jogs up the flight of stairs in 5 sec. Determine her average power
    output if the total vertical distance of the stairway is 2.75 m.
    Solution:
    Determine the following:

    Work, in physics, measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a
    distance by an external force.
    Sample Problems:

    Example 3
    A car with a mass of 1500kg starts from
    rest at the bottom of 10% grade and
    acquires a speed of 50kph in a distance
    of 100m. with constant acceleration up
    the grade. What is the power P delivered
    to the drive wheels by the engine when
    the car reaches this speed?
    Solution:

    bottom of 10% grade and acquires a speed of 50kph
    in a distance of 100m. with constant acceleration up
    the grade. What is the power P delivered to the drive
    wheels by the engine when the car reaches this
    speed?

    Work-Energy Theorem
    Work Done = Change in the Kinetic Energy

    Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object


    or particle and depends not only on its motion
    but also on its mass.
