Directions: Match the items in column one with appropriate items in column two and
write the CAPITAL letter in the space before the number.
3. Problem: If a woman pushes a box 9 meters along the floor with a 10N force. What is the work
she has done?
Work = Force x Distance Work = (10N)(9m) = 90 joules
1. Kinetic Energy
2. Potential Energy
3. Solar Energy
9. If a ball is dropped from a tall building explain where the maximum and minimum kinetic and
potential energy are found as the ball drops.
10. Define the word power scientifically. The time rate of doing work. (how fast or how slowly
you do work)
13. Problem: If a motorcycle does 150J of work in 20 seconds, how much power does the bike have?
Power = 150J/ 20s = 7.5 watts
4. What is power? The time rate of doing work. (how fast or how slowly you do work)
What is the S.I. unit of power? watts
What formula is used to calculate power? Power = work /time
5. Imagine an object falling from a high cliff. Draw a diagram of this object and label the object’s
maximum and minimum potential and kinetic energy on the diagram.
7. A worker pushes a crate with a force of 300N and the crate is moved 5.0m. How much work is
done?
work = force x distance work = (300N)(5m) = 1500joules
8. While rearranging a dorm room, a student does 300-J of work in moving a desk 2.0-m. How much
force did the student use?
9. A car does 20J of work in 2 seconds, how much power does the car have?
Power = 20J/2s = 10 watts
