Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all work for calculations.
1. Which of the following is the correct unit for work?
Watts
Joules
Newtons
Meters
2. What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?
PE = mgh
W = Fd
KE = 1/2 mv²
P = W/t
3. The rate at which work is done is called .
4. Energy stored due to an object's position or state is known as energy.
5. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or , but can only be transformed from one form to another.
6. If you push against a wall, but the wall does not move, you have done work.
True
False
7. Power is a scalar quantity.
True
False
8. Define work in physics and provide an example of when work is done.
9. A student lifts a 2 kg book from the floor to a shelf 1.5 meters high. Calculate the work done by the student. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s²)
10. Observe the image below. Describe how the concept of energy transformation applies to the operation of a nuclear power plant.
