Quick questions on Work, energy and power: conservation and efficiency - Edexcel A-Level Physics

4short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is conservation of energy?
Show answer
This principle lets you solve problems without tracking forces: equate the total energy at the start and end, accounting for any work done against resistive forces.
What is q1?
Show answer
State the principle of conservation of energy. [1 mark]
What is q2?
Show answer
A 2.02.0 kg object moves at 5.05.0 m per second. Find its kinetic energy. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
A motor takes in 500500 W and delivers 400400 W of useful power. Find its efficiency. [2 marks]
