Energy, Work & Power 09 MS

This document contains calculations related to physics concepts. It includes: 1) Calculations to determine the weight, volume, and kinetic energy of an object using given mass and density values. 2) Calculations of the speed and kinetic energy of a parachutist using values for mass, velocity, and angle of descent. 3) Calculations of mass flow rate, gravitational potential energy lost, output power, and efficiency for a hydroelectric plant. 4) Identifying concepts such as center of mass and forms of energy involved at different stages of a pole vault. 5) Calculations of heat energy absorbed, energy generated, and efficiency for solar panels given values for mass, specific heat capacity
