Question 186

Two construction workers are lifting a bucket of wet cement from the ground to the third floor of a building using a rope and pulley. The bucket is raised at a steady pace and brought to rest at the third floor.

a.

Which form of energy does the bucket of cement possess that is significantly greater at the third floor than when it is on the ground?

[1]
b.

State the two measurements that must be made in order to calculate this increase in energy.

[2]
c.

Which form of chemical energy in the worker's body is used to lift the bucket?

[1]
d.

State the additional measurement needed, in addition to those in (a)(ii), in order to calculate the average useful power developed by the worker during this task.
