Energy, work and power — practice question

As illustrated in Fig. 3.1, a battery, a pulley and a motor are used to raise a load.
(a)[3]

Describe the energy-store transfers that take place while the load is being lifted.

(b(i))[1]

Use the input energy and the useful output energy to show why the efficiency is less than $100\%$.

(b(ii))[2]

Explain how the conservation principle of energy is used when the load is lifted.

(c)[2]

A motor has an input power of $15\,\text{W}$. It runs for $20\,\text{s}$. Its efficiency is $60\%$. Calculate the energy supplied to the load.
