Work Power Energy

Question:

A machine has a power of 20 kW. How long will it take for it to lift a body of mass 10 kg from the ground to a height of 100 m? (Assume g = 10m/s2)

Options:

6 seconds.

5 seconds.

2 seconds.

2.5 seconds.

Correct Answer:

2 seconds.

Explanation:

Power = Energy x Time 

(P) = (E) x (t)

20000 = (m x g x h) x t

    = (10 x 10 x 100) x t

\(\Rightarrow\) t = 2 seconds.
