Name Villas, Kerby P. (STEM 12)

I. Put a check (✓) before the item if work is done on an object or person. Put (✖) if there is NO
work done. (8 pts.)

✖ a. a boy running across a playground

✖ b. a mother dancing with her baby in her arms

✓ c. a basket being lifted

✓ d. a person in an ascending elevator

✓ e. a stone whirled around a horizontal circle

✓ f. a big box dragged across the floor

✖ g. a man climbing up a three

✖ i. a girl walking up the stairs

II. Answer the following questions briefly.

1. When do we say that work is done on an object? (3 pts.)

= We can say the work is done if the object moves as a force is applied. Also the direction of the
object's motion is the same as the direction of the force applied.

2. If you lift a box up three stories, how much work do you do compared to lifting a box up

only one story? (4 pts.)

= You will do three times more work when lifting a box up three stories. Compared to lifting a
box up to only one story.
III. Answer the word problems. Show your COMPLETE solution for each problem.

(5 pts. each problem)

WORK PROBLEM

Sheila has just arrived at the airport and is dragging her suitcase to the luggage check-in

desk. She pulls on the strap with a force of 190 N at an angle of 35° to the horizontal to

displace it 45 m to the desk. Determine the work done by Sheila on the suitcase.

KINETIC ENERGY PROBLEM

What is the Kinetic Energy of a 200 kg object that is moving with a speed of 30 m/s?

2
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY PROBLEM

A crane lifts a 90 kg mass at a height of 10 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy

gained by the mass (g = 9.8 N/kg).

3
POWER PROBLEM

Dan climbs a flight of stairs in 1.5 min. If he weighs 450 N and the stairs are 10 m from the

ground, how much power will he develop?
