Work Energy

A weightlifter lifts two 300 newton weights 1.5 meters off the ground. How much work has he done?

• 600 J 

• 660 J

• 900 J 

• 1200 J 

You do 90 joules of work in 30 seconds. How much power have you generated?

• 30 watts

• 3 watts

• 120 watts

• 270 watts

If two rocks are launched through the air at the same speed, but one has twice as much mass as the other, how do their kinetic energies compare?

• The kinetic energy of the two rocks is the same because they have the same speed

• The rock with the greater mass will only move a small distance and then fall straight to the ground

• The two rock could not have the same speed if they have different masses

• The rock with the greater mass has more kinetic energy than the rock with less mass even though they are traveling at the same speeds because both mass and speed affect kinetic energy.

What is the formula for work?

• Force = work x distance
