CAIE IGCSE Physics 1.7.1 Energy Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

A box is initially at rest at the top of a rough slope.
The box slides down the slope.
The weight of the box is 20 N .
The slope is 4.0 m long and 2.0 m high.

Figure for Question 1 — CAIE IGCSE Physics

The box does 10 J of work against friction as it slides down the slope.
What is the speed of the box as it reaches the bottom of the slope?

A

5.4 m/s5.4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

B

6.3 m/s6.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

C

7.1 m/s7.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

D

9.5 m/s9.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

Question 2

[Maximum number: 1]

A crane on a building site lifts bricks of total mass 200 kg , initially at rest on the ground, with uniform acceleration.

When the bricks are 5.0 m from the ground, they have a speed of 5.0 m/s5.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}.
How much work is done during this process?

A

2.5 kJ

B

10.0 kJ

C

12.5 kJ

D

35 kJ35 \mathrm{~kJ}

Question 3

[Maximum number: 1]

A ball of mass 1.2 kg is dropped from a height of 30 m. As it falls, 25% of its initial gravitational potential energy is transferred to thermal energy.

A

27J

B

90 J

C

270J

D

360J
