(0) In the following list, tick the two boxes next to the two quantities needed to calculate the
work done on an object

mass of the object

force acting on the object

speed of the object

acceleration of the object

distance moved by the object [1)

(b) A lift (elevator) in a high building transports 12 passengers, each of mass 65 kg. through a
vertical height of 150 m in a time of 64s.

() Calculate the power needed to transport the passengers through this height

power ****************************************************I
() The lift (elevator) is driven by an electric motor.

State a reason, other than friction, why the power supplied by the motor is greater than
the power needed to transport the passengers.
