    Uploaded by

    Yana Louisse
    This document provides solutions to 17 physics problems involving work, power, energy. The problems calculate things like: the work done by pushing objects over distances with steady forces; the work done climbing stairs or lifting objects against gravity; calculating forces from work done or distances moved; and determining kinetic and potential energies of moving objects. The document uses physics equations to solve for values like work, force, energy, distance, time and power.
