Physics WAEC / WASSCE 1999 Work, Energy, Power & Simple Machines
(a) Explain (i) work: (ii) power (b) Show that the efficiency E, the force ratio M.A. and the velocity ratio V.R. of a machine are related by the equation: E = M.A. x 100% V.R. (c) An inclined plane of angle 15^\circ is used raise a load of 4500N through a height of 2m. If the plane is 75% efficient calculate: (i) velocity ratio of the plane; (ii) work done on the load (d) Explain Charles' law using the Kinetic theory of matter.
