Click Power is the rate of doing work. It tells us how fast work is being done. Power is important in order to establish the “speed” with which a given force acts. The formula for power is: Velocity Where: P = power in watts (W) F = force in newtons (N) t = time in seconds (s) v = velocity in m/s

A 20 kg object is pushed 15 m along a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force of 8 N. If the work was done in a time of 12 s, calculate: Click a) The work done. 120 J Click b) The power output. 10 W c) What becomes of the work done? It is lost to overcome friction (in the form of heat and sound) Click Power Slide: Note that we assume the object is moved at constant velocity.

What power is required to raise a mass of 40 kg a distance of 5 m in a time of 2 s? Click Power Slide:

A kg elevator is raised a distance of 18 m in a time of 40 s. Determine: Click a) The work done. 3.6 x 10 5 J Click b) The rate of doing work. 9 x 10 3 W c) What becomes of the work done? It is gained by the elevator in the form of potential energy. Click Power Slide:

If 700 W of power is needed to keep a boat moving through water at a constant speed of 10 m/s, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the motor of the boat? Click Power Slide:

Betty uses the hoist illustrated on the right to raise a mass of 200 kg. If she can pull the rope 5.0 metres in a time of 10 seconds, what is Betty’s power output? Note: Disregard friction. Click A) 17.0 W B) 100 W C) 163 W D) 980 W I.M.A. = 6 (6 ropes) Power Slide:

… and good luck!
