WORKSHEET-3

1. A lamp consumes 500 J of electrical energy in 20 sec. What is the power of the lamp?
2. Calculate the power of a crane in watts, which lifts a mass of 100 kg to a height of 10 m in
20s.

3. Calculate the electrical energy consumed in Joules if a toaster of 60 W is used for 30

minutes?
4. An electric heater of 1000 W is used for two hours in a day? What is the cost of using it for a
month of 28 days, if one unit costs 3.00 rupees?

5. Calculate the electricity bill amount for a month of 30 days, if the following devices are used
as specified:
a. Two bulbs of 40W for six hours.
b. Two tube lights of 50W for eight hours
c. A TV of 120W for six hours.
Given - the rate of electricity is 2.50 rupees per unit.

6. State the kind of energy transformation that takes place in the following devices:
a. Solar battery
b. Electric motor
c. Microphone
d. Thermal power plant
e. Hydroelectric power plant

7. Calculate the power of an electric motor that can lift 800 kg of water to store in a tank at a
height of 1500cm in 20s. (g=10m/s2).

8. A man whose mass is 50 kg climbs up 30 steps of a stair in 30 s. If each step is 20 cm high,

calculate the power used in climbing stairs.

9. Two persons A and B do same amount of work. The person A does that work in t1 s and the
person B in t2 s. Find the ratio of power delivered by them.

10. A trolley is pushed along a road with a force of 400 N through a distance of 60 m in 1
minute. Calculate the power developed.
11. Name the devices or machines which convert:

(i) Electrical energy into sound energy.

(ii) Heat energy into kinetic energy (or mechanical energy).
(iii) Chemical energy into kinetic energy (or mechanical energy).
(iv) Chemical energy into heat energy.
(v) Light energy into heat energy.

12. A man weighing 500 N carried a load of 100 N up a flight of stairs 4 m high in 5 seconds.
What is the power?

13. The following data was obtained for a body of mass 1 kg dropped from a height of 5 m:

Distance above ground Velocity

5m 0 m/s
3.2 m 6 m/s
0m 10 m/s

Show by calculations that the above data verifies the law of conservation of energy (Neglect air
resistance). (g = 10 m/s2).

14. A certain household consumes 650 units of electricity in a month. How much is this
electricity in joules?

15. A car of weight 20000 N climbs up a hill at a steady speed of 8 m/s, gaining a height of 120
m is 100 s. Calculate :
(a) work done by the car.
(b) power of engine of car.
