A 5kg cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 2.5 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relative to the floor if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2?      PE = mass x g x height

PE= 122.5 J

200

Hot pavement has what kind of energy?

Thermal Energy 

200

What has a higher specific heat, Water or pavement?

Hint: Which one is harder to heat up??

Water

High specific heat= Needs more energy to raise temperature

Low SH= Needs less energy to raise temperature (gets hot easily)

A family is moving to a new house. While lifting a box 1.5 m straight up to put it on a truck, you exert an upward force of 250 N for 2 s. How much work is required to do this?

                              Work = F x D; P = Work/time

375 J

400

How can you increase power?

a. Increase work, increase time

b. Increase work, decrease time

c. Decrease work decrease time

d. Decrease work, increase time

b. Increase work, decrease time

P=W/t

More work or do the work faster! (less time)
