Work and Energy Quiz
Show your work on a separate
sheet of paper and staple your
work to the back.
1. A 2 kg ball is attached to a 0.80 m
string and whirled in a horizontal circle
at a constant speed of 6 m/s. The
work done on the ball during each
revolution is:
(A) zero (B) 90 J (C) 72 J
(D) 16 J (E) 450 J
2. A force of 30.0 N pushes a 1.5-kg cart,
initially at rest, a distance of 2.8 m
along a frictionless surface. What is the
change in kinetic energy?
(A) 126 J (B) 20 J (C) 56 J (D) 84 J
3. A bike and rider, 82.0-kg combined mass,
are traveling at 4.2 m/s. A constant force of
–140 N is applied by the brakes in stopping
the bike. What braking distance is needed?
(A) 1.23 m (B)101 m (C) 5.2 m (D) 7.3 m
4. A skier starts from rest at the top of a 60-m
hill, skis down a 30° incline into a valley, and
continues up a 40-m-high hill. Both hill heights
are measured from the valley floor. Assume that
you can neglect friction and the effect of ski
poles. What is the skier’s speed at the top of the
next hill?
(A) 20 m/s (B) 15 m/s (C) 10 m/s (D) 5 m/s
5. A 15-kg bowling ball hangs from the
end of a 3-m rope. The ball is pulled
back until the rope makes a 45° angle
with the vertical. What is the gravitational
potential energy of the ball?
A. 132 J
B. 117 J
C. 105 J
D. 84 J
E. 56 J
Recovery Points: Show your work on
separate paper and write your answer on
this paper.
6. A 15-g bullet is fired horizontally into a
3.000-kg block of wood suspended by a
long cord. The bullet sticks in the block.
Compute the velocity of the bullet if the
impact causes the block to swing 10 cm
above its initial level.
Recovery Points: Show your work on
separate paper and write your answer on
this paper.
7. An average force of 8.2 N is used to pull
a 0.40-kg rock, stretching a sling shot 43
cm. The rock is shot downward from a
bridge 18 m above a stream. What will be
the velocity of the rock just before it enters
the water?
This quiz contains multiple-choice physics questions related to work, energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and forces. It covers scenarios like circular motion, kinetic energy changes, braking distances, skier motion, gravitational potential energy, and more, challenging students' understanding of these concepts.
