Hiro walks up a flight of stairs in his apartment building. Later in the day, he runs up the same flight of stairs.
A diver who has a mass of 68 kg climbs to a diving platform that is 7.5 m above the surface of a pool. How much gravitational potential energy does the diver have in relation to the pool’s surface?
A crane does 9,500 J of work to lift a crate straight up using a force of 125 N. How high does the crane lift the crate?
How do the units of work and power compare?
The chart shows data for four different moving objects.

A ball has 116.62 J of gravitational potential energy at a height of 85 m. What is the mass of the ball?
According to the work-energy theorem, the amount of work done can be determined using which formula?




A 5,400 W motor is used to do work. If the motor is used for 640 s, about how much work could it do?
What is the unit for work?
Lenny wrote the steps he used to find the mass of an object with 400 J of energy moving at a velocity of 8 m/s.1. Find the square of 8 m/s, which is 64 m2/s2. 2. Divide kinetic energy, 400 J, by 64 m2/s2, which is 6.25 J per m2/s2.3. Divide 6.25 J per m2/s2 by 2 to get a mass of 3.125 kg.
Examine the scenarios.Scenario W: A force of 75 N moves a box 15 m.Scenario X: A force of 100 N moves a box 12 m.Scenario Y: A force of 50 N moves a box 20 m.Scenario Z: A force of 25 N moves a box 45 m.
In which scenario is an animal doing work? Check all that apply.A cat lifts up her kitten by its neck.A dog rubs his back against a large tree.A bird flies a worm from the ground to its nest in a tree.A goat butts its head against the barn wall.A horse pulls a wagon along a road.
Kinetic energy and mass are proportional.
Four vehicles are traveling on the same road. Which vehicle most likely has the greatest kinetic energy?
Natalia lifts a bag of groceries 0.50 m by exerting a force of 36 N. How much work did she do on the bag?
A 60.0 kg runner is moving at 6.00 m/s and speeds up to 9.00 m/s. The runner’s change in kinetic energy is 1,350 J.How much work was done?
An object that is 0.5 m above the ground has the same amount of potential energy as a spring that is stretched 0.5 m. Each distance is then doubled.
The rate at which work is done is .
