A 5-kg fish swimming at a speed of 1 m/s swallows an absent-minded 1 kg fish at rest. The speed of the larger fish after this lunch is
5/6 m/s
If you push an object a given distance, while applying twice the force, you do
Twice as much work
A job is done slowly, while an identical job is done quickly. Both jobs require the same amount of work, but different amounts of
Power
If you do work on an object in one third the usual time, your power output is
THREE TIMES THE USUAL POWER OUTPUT
The power required to exert 1 N of force, over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is
1 W
If an object is raised twice as high, its potential energy will be
TWICE AS MUCH
An object lifted 10 meters gains 200 J of potential energy. If the same object is lifted 20 meters, its potential energy gain is
TWICE AS MUCH
A 1000-kg car and a 2000-kg car are hoisted the same distance. Raising the more massive car requires
TWICE AS MUCH WORK
Block of ice sliding down an incline has its maximum speed at
THE BOTTOM
No work is done by gravity on a bowling ball that rolls along a bowling alley because
THE FORCE ON THE BALL IS AT A RIGHT ANGLE TO THE BALL'S DIRECTION OF MOTION
A box is pushed a distance of 2 m with a force of 20 N. How much work is done on the box?
40 J
A 2-kg mass is held 4 m above the ground. What is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?
80 J
A 2-kg mass has 40 J of potential energy with respect to the ground. Approximately how high is it above the ground?
2 M
A car moves 4 times as fast as another identical car. Compared to the slower car, the kinetic energy of the faster car is
16 TIMES LARGER
Which one car has a greater kinetic energy: a car traveling at 30 km/h or a car of half its mass traveling at 60 km/h?
THE 60-KM/H CAR
