Energy Quiz 1-18-06
True or False • The units of work are the same as the units of energy. • Potential energy is energy due to the motion of an object. • Any moving object will keep moving until the energy in it runs out. • A body moving at 3 m/s has half the energy of the same object moving at 6 m/s.
Work is equal to the product of force and time. • A joule is equivalent to a newton·meter. • A weightlifter holding a 100-kg barbell over his head is doing twice as much work as a weightlifter holding a 50-kg barbell over his head. • Power is the rate at which energy is created. • Potential energy and kinetic energy are both forms of mechanical energy. • The unit of power is the watt.

The diagram represents a 20-N force pulling a 5-kg object up a hill at a constant rate of 2 meters per second. The kinetic energy of the moving object is • a. 50 J • b. 15 J • c. 10 J • d. 5 J 30 m 20 N 5kg 10 m
At what point in its fall does the kinetic energy of a freely falling object equal its potential energy? • a. at the start of the fall • b. at all points during the fall • c. halfway between the start and the end • d. at the end of the fall • A basketball player who weighs 600 N jumps 0.5 meters off the floor. What is her kinetic energy just before hitting the floor? • a. 600 J • b. 30 J • c. 300 J • d. 60 J
