Empower your problem-solving skills as you navigate challenges that mirror everyday life!

Questions

  1. MultiChoice

    A 2 kg stone is dropped from a cliff. Just before hitting the ground, its kinetic energy is measured at 196 J. Assuming no air resistance, what was its gravitational potential energy at the top?

  2. MultiChoice

    A bow stores 80 J of elastic potential energy when fully drawn. When fired, the arrow gains 70 J of kinetic energy. What happened to the remaining 10 J?

  3. MultiChoice

    A smartphone battery stores 40,000 J of chemical energy. Over 10 hours, it delivers electrical energy to display screen, speaker, and processor. By conservation of energy:

  4. MultiChoice

    A car engine burns fuel supplying 50,000 J of energy. If 12,000 J is converted into useful movement, how much energy is dissipated as waste heat and sound?

  5. MultiChoice

    A student holds a basketball at height h. When dropped, it bounces back to 80% of its original height. What explains this scenario?

  6. MultiChoice

    A hydro turbine generates 900 kW of electrical power from 1,000 kW of water kinetic power. What is the power lost to thermal/turbulent waste?

  7. MultiChoice

    A pendulum bob has 15 J of kinetic energy at its lowest point. As it swings upward to its highest peak, what will its peak potential energy be (ignoring air resistance)?

  8. MultiChoice

    In an experiment, 500 J of electrical energy is supplied to an electric motor lifting a crate. The crate gains 400 J of gravitational potential energy. What is the efficiency of the lifting system?

  9. MultiChoice

    A catapult launches a 1 kg rock. If 300 J of work is done stretching the elastic bands, what maximum mechanical energy can the rock possess at launch?

  10. MultiChoice

    A pole vaulter with a total mass of 60 kg converts horizontal kinetic energy into bend in the pole, then into height. At peak height, what energy type is maximal?

  11. MultiChoice

    An closed thermal flask contains hot coffee. Over 24 hours, the coffee slowly cools down to room temperature. What happened to the thermal energy?

  12. MultiChoice

    Which equation represents the Law of Conservation of Energy for a closed system with initial state 1 and final state 2?
