1. 1000 kW of power is supplied to a motor. 90% of this is transmitted to a machine operating at 80% efficiency. The machine lifts an object of 10-tons with a velocity _____ m/s. (Assume g = 10m/s2)
2. A 200 kg wagon climbs up a hill of slope 30-degrees in 1 minute at a speed of 10 m/s. How much power is delivered by the engine? (Assume g = 10m/s2)
3. A motor is used to pump water from a depth of 5 m to fill a volume of 10 cubic meters in 5 minutes. If 50% of the power is wasted, what is the power of the motor? (Assume g = 10m/s2)
4. A motor is used to deliver water through a pipe. Let the motor have a power P initially. To double the rate of flow of water through the pipe, the power is increased to P’. What is the value of P’/P?
5. A body of mass 3 kg starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of unknown magnitude. If the body has a velocity of 30 m/s in 6 seconds, what is the power consumed in 3 seconds?
6. A machine gun fires 360 bullets per minute. Each bullet has a mass of 5 grams and travels at 600 m/s. What is the power of the gun? (Assume no loss of energy and 100% power transmission)
7. The force required to tow a vehicle at constant velocity is directly proportional to the magnitude of velocity raised to the first power. It requires 1000 W to tow with a velocity of 10 m/s. How much power is required to tow at a velocity of 8 m/s?
8. A machine has a power of 20kW. How long will it take for it to lift a body of mass 10kg from the ground to a height of 100m? (Assume g = 10m/s2)
9. A 200 kg wagon climbs up a hill of slope 30-degrees in 1 minute at a speed of 36 km/h. How much power is delivered by the engine if the frictional force is 25% of the weight of the car? (Assume g = 10m/s2)
10. A 2-ton vehicle travels at 20m/s on a road where the frictional force is 10% of the weight of the vehicle. What is the power required? (Assume g = 10m/s2)
11. What are the units of power?
