Work and Power Practice

YOU SHOULD ONLY BE USING THIS WORKSHEET TO CHECK

YOUR ANSWERS AFTER YOU
COMPLETED THE PRACTICE SHEET.

1. How much work is done when a 50 N force moves a block 10 m?

W=Fxd
W = 50N x 10m
W = 500 J

2. How far will 660 J raise a block weighing 6 N?

d=W/F
d = 660J / 6N
d = 110 m

3. How much work can be done by a 50 W motor in 5 sec?

W=Pxt
W = 50W x 5s
W = 250 J

4. How much power does it take to do 450 J of work in 5 sec?

P=W/t
P = 40J / 4s
P = 10 W

5. Linda is lifting a book, requiring 50 N of force. She lifts it 2 meters in 20 seconds.

How much power is Linda using?

P = (F x d) / t
P = (50N x 2m) / 20s
P=5W

6. Marc is completing a task that requires 400 J. His power is 40 W. How long will it
take Marc to complete this task?

t=W/P
t = 400J / 40W
t = 10 seconds
