Correct:



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2



Use the following information to answer the next 2 questions.


A forklift raises a pallet full of goods weighing a total of 700 kg to a shelf 2.00 m high in 30.0 s.

What is the forklift's power output?


Correct: 458 J/s



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 3



If the forklift's motor must generate 550 W of power to lift the pallet, what is the motor's efficiency?

Incorrect: 46.0 %



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 4



Use the following information to answer the next 2 questions.


Quads are a common source of recreation in Alberta.







A particular quad with a mass of 300 kg is driving up a sand dune at a constant speed of 5.60 m/s. The force of resistance opposing its motion generated due to friction is 150 N. The dune's slope is 9.00° .



What is the forward force needed to maintain the quad's speed?



Correct: 610 N



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 5



Assume all the power output of the quad's engine goes into driving the quad up the slope. What is the power output of the quad's engine?

Incorrect: 2.58 kW



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 6



What is the relationship between the amount of work done and the power output of a machine?

Correct: Power is the rate of work being done.



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 7



Many trucks are equipped with winches. These winches are motor-powered spools that can be latched onto heavy objects, making it possible to pull them easily.






What is the relationship between the speed that an object is pulled by a winch and the power required by the motor to move the object?



Correct: As the speed of pulling increases, the power required increases.



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 8



Use the following information to answer the next 2 questions.


An empty elevator in a hotel (EL1) has a mass of 900 kg. It goes up to the 30th floor of a building, a total distance of 90.0 m, in 120 s. A freight elevator (EL2), with a mass of 2900 kg, goes up 4 floors in a building, a total distance of 12.0 m, taking 360 s.



What are the two elevators' power outputs?



Incorrect: EL1 is 675 W and EL2 is 6.40 x 104 W



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 9



If the freight elevator (EL2) goes up 10 floors (30.0 m) in 900 s, how does its power output change?

Correct: Its power output doesn't change.



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 10



A car engine is rated at 350 hp (1 hp = 746 W). How much work can it do in 30.0 min if its engine efficiency is 70%?

Correct: 3.29 x 108 J
