·         4.14 describe power as the rate of transfer of energy or the rate of doing work

"Rate" just means "divided by time" (see Entrance Activity)

 

So

 

Power = Energy / Time

 

or

 

Power = Work done / Time

·         4.15 use the relationship between power, work done (energy transferred) and time taken:

          power = work done            P = Wd

                       time taken                    t

P = Wd / t

P = E / t

 

P = Power (Watts, W)

Wd = Work Done (Joules, J)

E = Energy Transferred (Joules, J)

t = Time (s)

F) power is the rate of doing work

Power (in watts) = work done (in watts) / time (in seconds)

G) 1 watt is a rate of working of one joule per second

13) a girl does 1000 joules of work in 5 seconds. What power does she develop? 1000/5= 5000W

14) a man lifts a weight of 300N through a vertical height of 2m in 6 seconds. What power does he develop? 300 x 2 = 600W

16) a crane lifts a load of 3000N through a vertical height of 10m in 4 seconds. What is its rate of working  in a) watts b) kilowatts  

a) 3000 x 10 = 30,000W

b) 30kW

·         4.13 understand how conservation of energy produces a link between gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy and work

<<CoE.ppt>>

CoE questions

19. a) 500N/kg

b) GPE = mgh

     GPE = 50 x 10 x 4 = 2000J

c) KE = ½ m v2

     KE = 0.5 x 50 x 2000 =  50000m/s2

Q3. A) GPE = mgh

            GPE = 35 x 10 x 30 = 10,500J

B) KE = ½mv2

     But KE (bottom) = GPE (top)

        10,500 = ½ x 35 x v2

        v2 = 600

        v = 24.5m/s

C) because some of it got wasted by heat through friction

1. a) joules
    weight
     distance
    b) force
       meter
       weight
    d) energy

2. 5N times 2m = 10J

4. 200J
weight and distance 

Q1. 50 000 / 4 000 = 12.5m

·         4.9 recall and use the relationship between work, force and distance moved in the direction of the force:

       work done = force × distance moved         

Wd = F × d
