Physics 3U Energy and Society Review 1. You are asked to determine the mass defect in a nuclear reaction. What information do you need? 2. A student is dragging a bag of garbage along the ground. You are given the mass of the bag, the magnitude of the force the student is exerting on the bag, and the magnitude of the displacement of the bag. Calculate the work done by the student on the bag. What information is needed to answer the question? What information is unnecessary? 3. Einstein’s work with relativity showed that energy is effectively about mass. On a normal human scale, what is energy about? 4. A ball is thrown upwards. Given the mass of the ball and its initial height above the ground, calculate the ball’s kinetic energy. What information is needed to answer the question? What information is surplus? 5. A car is lifted a specified distance into the air at a given constant speed by a mechanical hoist. Determine the gain in gravitational potential energy. What information is missing? What information is unnecessary? 6. A ball is lifted a given distance above the ground and then dropped. Calculate the speed of the ball just before it hits the ground. What additional information is needed to answer the question? 7. You are given the brightness and efficiency of a fluorescent lamp and asked to calculate its energy output. What information do you need to answer the question? What information is surplus? 8. You are given the mass and speed of a car and asked to calculate its power output. What information do you need to answer the question? What information is not needed? 9. You are given the power output and efficiency of a toaster. Calculate the energy output of the toaster. What information do you need to answer the question? What information is unnecessary? 10. Give one example each of conduction of heat, convection of heat, and radiation of heat found in a home. 11. You are given the specific heat capacity of a piece of metal as well as the initial and final temperatures of the metal. Calculate the heat gained/lost by the metal. What information is needed to answer the question? What information is surplus? 12. You are asked to determine what mass of ice will be melted by a given amount of heat. The heat is generated at a given rate of power. What information do you need to answer the question? What information is unnecessary? 13. What is an alpha particle composed of? 14. Given the half-life, the decay type, and initial mass of a radioactive isotope; determine the final mass of the isotope. What information do you need to answer the question? What information is unnecessary? 15. A nuclear power plant generates a given power output. What mass defect is required to operate the reactor for a day? What information is needed to answer this question? What information is surplus? 16. Specify the energy transformations that occur in a hydro-electric generating plant.
