Explain:
Which requires less power
done, walking or running down
the oval? Why?
Explain:
Two students were each assigned to
transfer two chairs to the second floor of a
building which is 5m above the ground.
Ramon did it in 15 seconds while Greg did
it in 25 seconds. Compare their work done
and power output.
Explain:
An elevator in a five star hotel has a maximum
capacity of 15 passengers. From the ground
floor to the 10th floor of the hotel, 45 meters
from the ground, the elevator can lift the 15
passengers in 25 seconds. Determine the
power of the elevator assuming that the
average passenger’s mass is 55.0 kg.
Sample Problem # 1:
Mang Lino did not have a good day
yesterday. His jeepney stopped in the
middle of the street. He called for some
volunteers to help him push the vehicle
150 m away from where it stopped.
Sample Problem # 1:
The amount of force that they
applied to the jeepney was 1200 N.
They pushed the jeepney for 15
minutes. Determine the power of the
volunteers who pushed the vehicle.
Sample Problem # 2:
Juan has 5W of power while lifting
a box to a height of 4 m. In doing
so, he exerts 90 N of force. How
long did he do the task?
Sample Problem # 3:
A person has power of 200 watts
in pushing a 75-N box to a
distance of 20m. How much time
did it take to push the box?
Sample Problem #4:
If a body builder does 6000J of
work in 1 minute and 15 seconds,
what is the body builder’s power
output?
Sample Problem #5:
A 40W light bulb dissipated
240 000 joules of energy,
how long has it been
burning?
Sample Problem #5:
A steel cabinet that weighs 40 kg
is lifted by a set of pulleys to a
height of 15 meters. If the lift
happens in 2.0 minutes, how much
power is used?
Sample Problem #6:
In order not to be late in Physics class,
Jose hurriedly climbed the 5.0m
staircase of the Science Bldg. Jose weighs
490N. Calculate Jose’s power output if he
climbs the stairs in 10 seconds.
