Use words from the list below to complete the sentences about work, energy, and power.

  • weight of the block
  • distance moved
  • initial velocity
  • time taken
  • thermal energy

A heavy block is lifted vertically upwards at a constant speed. In order to calculate the work done against gravity, it is necessary to know the ______________________ and the ______________________.

To calculate the power required to lift the block, it is also necessary to know the ______________________.
