Problems about Work

Carlo is pushing a box towards the right. He applies a force of 350 N in a

distance of 10 m. What is the work done on the box?
Find: Work
Given: d= 10 m; F= 350 N
Formula: W=fd
Solution: W= (350N) (10m)
Final answer: 3500 N x m or 3500 J

A butler is dragging the suitcase of his newly arrived mistress. He drags the
suitcase with a force of 120 N at an angle of 30 towards the room with a
displacement of 39 m. Find the work done by the butler on the suitcase.
Find: Work
Given: d=39m; F= 120N; 30
Formula: F cos d
Solution: 120N cos(30) (39m)
Final Answer: 4053 J

Sheila pushes the stroller of her baby. The mass of both the baby and the stroller,
when combined, amounts to13.6 kg. If she pushes the stroller in a distance of
25m, how much is the work applied on the object?

Given a distance of 450 m, find the work done by a car with a load of 40 kg
traveling 110 m/s.

An old lady gives the cart a push through a distance of 160 m by applying a force
of 50 N. Calculate the work done.

A gardener is dragging a hose with a force of 20 N at an angle of 35 across the

backyard with a distance of 25 m. How much is the work done by the gardener?

A table is dragged across a floor by a force of 160 N with an angle of 62 above

the horizontal. How much work does he do if he pulls it in a distance of 10 m?

A man pushes a filing cabinet to a distance of 5m to the right by exerting a force

of 60 N. How much work is he applying on the object?

A boy lifted a 4 kg backpack from the ground. If it takes him 1.32s to reach his
destination of 2.29 m, what is the work done by the boy on the object?

A construction worker lifted a sack of rice onto his shoulder with a force of 200 N
at a height of 1 meter. How much work did he do with a sack of rice on his
shoulder?

Problems about Energy

Justin, having a mass of 70 kg, runs toward the train station for his fieldtrip. What
is his kinetic energy if he runs at a speed of 13 m/s?
Find: KE
Given: m= 70kg; v= 13m/s

Formula: KE =

mv
2

Solution:

(70 kg)(13 m per s )

2

169 m/s
( 2)
>>>> 70 kg 2

Final Answer: 5915 J

A mass of 8 kg is raised in a vertical distance of 25 m. Calculate the potential

energy.
Find: PE
Given: m= 8kg; h= 25m; g=

9.8 m/s 2

Formula: PE = mgh
2
Solution: PE = (8kg) ( 9.8 m/s ) (25m)

Final Answer: 1960 J

A rocket flew vertically through a height of 100m. Having a mass of 200,000 kg,
what is its kinetic energy?

A cyclist moved at a speed of 15 m/s downslope. If the kinetic energy of the bike
and cyclist is 800 J, what is their combined mass?

A coconut on a tree weighs 25 kg. If the coconut is 30 m high. What is the

potential energy of the coconut?

A motorbike on the run has a kinetic energy of 550 J and a mass of 75 kg. What
is the velocity of the motorbike?

A sumo wrestler charged against his opponent. Given that the sumo wrestler has
a mass of 90 kg and a velocity of 51 m/s. Find the Kinetic Energy of the sumo
wrestler.

A 20 kg boy climbs on a 10 m high ladder. If he constantly climbs up, what is the

Kinetic Energy of the boy?

A dog is chasing a cat. If the dog has a mass of 12 kg and exerts a kinetic energy
of 48 J. What is the velocity of the dog while chasing the cat?

Problems about Power

Amelia pushes her mug across the table. She exerted a force of 4 N, with a
distance of 2 m in 0.53 s. How much power did she exert?
Find: Power
Given: F = 4 N; d= 2 m; t= 0.53s
Formula: P=

w
T

Solution: P=

( 4 N ) (2 m)
0.53 s

>>

8J
0.53 s

Final Answer: 15.09 W

Two students were asked to transfer the teachers table to the corner of the
classroom, at a distance of 6 m. If their combined force is 500 N and they finish
the job in 15s, what is the power?
Find: Power
Given: F = 500 N; d = 6 m; t = 15s

Formula: P=

w
t

Solution: P =

( 500 N ) ( 6 m )
15 s

Final Answer: 200 W
