Module 20

Attempt the following question and then view the module.

Q A motor is used to lift a load with a mass of 35kg a height of 3.7m
a) calculate the work done in lifting the load?
The speed of the load moving is 0.35m.sec.
b) Calculate the power delivered by the motor?

Module 21

This module will discuss the issue of energy.

Module 22

A pendulum with a mass of 900grammes and a length of 65cm is pulled out at an angle of 38 degrees from the vertical.  This obviously took work to do this and it now has potential energy.
