O-Level Physics Quiz - Energy Power (Answer Key)

1. B
Working:
GPE=mgh=500×10×20=100,000 JGPE = mgh = 500 \times 10 \times 20 = 100,000 \text{ J}
Power=Energytime=100,00010=10,000 WPower = \frac{Energy}{time} = \frac{100,000}{10} = 10,000 \text{ W}

2. A
Reasoning: As the ball falls, GPE converts to KE. Upon impact, KE is converted to sound, heat, and deformation energy.

3. A
Working:
Useful Energy = 80%×500=400 J80\% \times 500 = 400 \text{ J}
Wasted Energy = Total Input - Useful Output = 500−400=100 J500 - 400 = 100 \text{ J}

4. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. (Or: The total energy of an isolated system remains constant.)

5. 200 J
Working:
Work=Force×distance=50×4=200 JWork = Force \times distance = 50 \times 4 = 200 \text{ J}

6. Power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. (P=EtP = \frac{E}{t} or P=WtP = \frac{W}{t})

7. 16,000 W
Working:
Work=Force×distance=800×100=80,000 JWork = Force \times distance = 800 \times 100 = 80,000 \text{ J}
Power=Worktime=80,0005=16,000 WPower = \frac{Work}{time} = \frac{80,000}{5} = 16,000 \text{ W}
(Alternative: P=FvP = Fv, v=1005=20 m/sv = \frac{100}{5} = 20 \text{ m/s}, P=800×20=16,000 WP = 800 \times 20 = 16,000 \text{ W})

8.
(a) Chemical energy (from coal/fossil fuels)
(b) Gravitational potential energy (of water)

9. 500 N
Working:
Weight=mg=50×10=500 NWeight = mg = 50 \times 10 = 500 \text{ N}

10. 5,000 J
Working:
Work=Force×distance=500×10=5,000 JWork = Force \times distance = 500 \times 10 = 5,000 \text{ J}

11. 180,000 J
Working:
GPE=mgh=600×10×30=180,000 JGPE = mgh = 600 \times 10 \times 30 = 180,000 \text{ J}

12. 180,000 J. By the principle of conservation of energy, assuming no energy losses, all GPE at A is converted to KE at B.

13. 24.5 m/s
Working:
KE=12mv2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
180,000=12×600×v2180,000 = \frac{1}{2} \times 600 \times v^2
180,000=300v2180,000 = 300 v^2
v2=600v^2 = 600
v=600≈24.5 m/sv = \sqrt{600} \approx 24.5 \text{ m/s}

14. 30,000 J
Working:
Work=mgh=200×10×15=30,000 JWork = mgh = 200 \times 10 \times 15 = 30,000 \text{ J}

15. 75%
Working:
Useful Power Output = Worktime=30,00020=1,500 W\frac{Work}{time} = \frac{30,000}{20} = 1,500 \text{ W}
Efficiency=UsefulPowerOutputTotalPowerInput×100%Efficiency = \frac{Useful Power Output}{Total Power Input} \times 100\%
Efficiency=1,5002,000×100%=75%Efficiency = \frac{1,500}{2,000} \times 100\% = 75\%

16. 2 m/s²
Working:
Acceleration=ΔvΔt=10−05−0=2 m/s2Acceleration = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{10 - 0}{5 - 0} = 2 \text{ m/s}^2

17. 160 N
Working:
F=ma=80×2=160 NF = ma = 80 \times 2 = 160 \text{ N}

18. 4,000 J
Working:
KE=12mv2=12×80×102=40×100=4,000 JKE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 80 \times 10^2 = 40 \times 100 = 4,000 \text{ J}

19. 400 W
Working:
P=Fv=40×10=400 WP = Fv = 40 \times 10 = 400 \text{ W}

20. 80%
Working:
Power Input = Energy per second = mgh/t=1000×10×150/1=1,500,000 J/s=1.5 MWmgh/t = 1000 \times 10 \times 150 / 1 = 1,500,000 \text{ J/s} = 1.5 \text{ MW}
Power Output = 1.2 MW
Efficiency=1.21.5×100%=80%Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} \times 100\% = 80\%
