Worksheet - Work and Power Problems

1. Work is done when an object moves through a distance because of a force acting upon it. Work is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. The SI unit for work is the Joule (J). 2. Power is the rate at which work is done and is calculated using the formula: Power = Work / Time. The SI unit for power is the Watt (W). 3. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating work, power, time, distance, and force using the relevant formulas along with sample values and units. Conversions between work, power, time and other variables are shown.

Worksheet: Work & Power Problems Answer Key II.

Power
I. Work A. Samples
A. Sample Problems:
1. W= 500 Joules Formula: P = W/t
1. F = 200 Newtons Formula: W = Fd t = 25 seconds Substitution: P = 500 J/25 sec
d = 50 meters Substitution: W = (200 N)(50 m) P=? Answer with unit of measure: 20 W
W=? Answer with unit of measure: W = 10,000 J
2. P = 25 watts Formula: t = W/P
2. F = 5 Newtons Formula: d = W/F W = 5000 Joules Substitution: t = 5000 J/25 W
W = 75 Joules Substitution: d = 75 J/5 N t=? Answer with unit of measure: t = 200 sec
d=? Answer with unit of measure: d = 15 m
3. P = 170 watts Formula: W = Pt
3. W = 125 Joules Formula: F = W/d t = 20 seconds Substitution: W = 170 W(20 sec)
d = 10 meters Substitution: F = 125 J/10 m W=? Answer with unit of measure: W = 3,400 J
F=? Answer with unit of measure: F = 12.5 N
4. If a man moves a large box that weighs 10 Newtons 20 meters in 30 seconds, how much
4. If 150 Joules of work is needed to move a box 10 meters, what force was used? power was used? F = 10 N P = W/t and W = Fd, so P = Fd/t
W = 150 J F = W/d F = 15 N d = 20 m P = (10 N x 20 m)/30 sec
d = 10 m F = 150 J/10 m t = 30 sec P = 6.67 W

B. Fill-in-the-blank: B. Fill-in-the-blank:

1. Power is the rate at which work is done.


1. Work is done when an object moves through a distance because of a force acting upon the
object.
2. When calculating power, you should use the formula P = work divided by time. In this
formula, “P” stands for power, W stands for work, and t for time.
2. When calculating work, you should use the formula: work = force X distance.
3. The SI unit for Power is the Watt.
3. The SI unit for work is the Joule. It is represented by the letter J.
C. Power Problems

10. A person weighing 600 N gets on an elevator. The elevator lifts the person 6 m in 10 seconds.
10. If 360 Joules of work are needed to move a crate a distance of 4 meters, what is the weight of How much power was used? F = 600 N P = Fd/t
the crate? W = 360 J F = W/d F = 90 N d = 6m P = (600 x 6)/10
d=4m F = 360 J/4 m t = 10 sec P = 360 W
11. How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?
11. If a group of workers can apply a force of 1000 Newtons to move a crate 20 meters, what W = 720 J t = W/P t = 8 sec
amount of work will they have accomplished? F = 1000 N W = Fd W = 20,000 J P = 90 W t = 720 J/90 W
d = 20 m W = 1000(20) 12. If 68 W of power is produced in 18 seconds, how much work is done?
12. If 68 Joules of work were necessary to move a 4 Newton crate, how far was the crate moved? P = 68 W W = Pt W = 1,224 J
W = 68 J d = W/F d = 17 m t = 18 sec W = 68(18)
F=4N d = 68 J/4N 13. A set of pulleys lifts an 800 N 4 meters in 7 seconds. What power was used?
