LONG ANSWER TYPE [ Marks:5X2 = 10]
Question No: 18
Figure shows a conveyor belt transporting a package to a raised platform. The belt is driven by a
motor.
(A) State three types of energy, other than gravitational potential energy, into which the electrical
energy supplied to the motor is converted.
(B) The mass of the package is 36 kg . Calculate the increase in the gravitational potential energy
(P.E.) of the package when it is raised through a vertical height of 2.4 m .
(C) The package is raised through the vertical height of 2.4 m in 4.4 s . Calculate the power needed
to raise the package.
