Energy, work and power — practice question

Fig. 2.1 illustrates two identical metal blocks, A and B, raised 3.0 m above ground level. Block A is raised by an electric motor, while Block B is raised by a person. The labels in Fig. 2.1 are: block A mass = 70 kg, block B mass = 70 kg, electric motor, ground level, 3.0 m.
(a(i))[2]

As the motor begins to turn, it usefully converts ......................... energy to ......................... energy.

(a(ii))[1]

Each block gains ......................... energy.

(b(i))[1]

Compare the energy gain of block A with the energy gain of block B.

(b(ii))[2]

Explain why the energy input to the motor is greater than the energy gained by block A.

(b(iii))[2]

State the three measurements the engineer must take to determine the power output of the motor.

(c)[3]

Calculate the density of block A, then complete: density = ......................... kg/m$^3$
