Name: _________________________ Score: ______
Facilitator: Gabriel Figueroa. Total Points: 100
Level: 11th JVA Date: __________

General Indication:
Read carefully the following questions, analyze and organize your ideas in order to
develop them in a clear and precise manner.

I. Answer the following questions about work. (5 pts per exercise)

1) How much work does a supermarket checkout attendant do on a can of

soup he pushes 0.600 m horizontally with a force of 5.00 N? Express
your answer in joules.
2)  A 75.0-kg person climbs stairs, gaining 2.50 meters in height. Find the
work done to accomplish this task.
3) Calculate the work done on a 1500-kg elevator car by its cable to lift it
40.0 m at constant speed, assuming friction averages 100 N.
4) Compare the kinetic energy of a 50,000-kg truck moving at 90 km/h
with that of an 65.0-kg astronaut in orbit moving at 27,500 km/h.
5) Calculate the force needed to bring a 1000-kg car to rest from a speed of
80.0 km/h in a distance of 90 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic
stop).
6) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is
brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car and
compare it with the force found in problema 5.
How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of :
7) 2000 J.
8) 20000 J.
9) Mrs. Marcel dropped an object from 10 meters. He knows it did 50 joules of
work. How much did it weigh?
9, 10, 11, 12 ) Determine the potential, kinetic, and total energy at each point (there
are 4 poits.)

.
 13, 14) A rolling wagon has 50 joules of kinetic energy. If the wagon’s velocity
is doubled, the kinetic energy of the wagon is:
15) If I raise a 2 kg book 0.8m over my head, determine the amount of work that
I have done.
