Analysis:

The work done by the fan cart is not constant. Because the work is directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force while power is indirectly proportional to work. Therefore we can conclude that power is also directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force. If the applied force is constant as the work rises so does the displacement and power as shown in the experiment. In the second part of the experiment when an object is lifted up in a curve motion its gravitational potential energy increases. Based on the experiment we conclude that the work done on the curve path is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

Conclusion:

Using the data taken from 4 trials, we have computed for the power done by the fan cart by using the formula of work (W=Fs), and power (P=Work/time). From the results that we have come up with we have proved that the work is directly proportional to the force acting on a body and the displacement, and that the power is directly proportional to work, but inversely proportional to time. On the second part of the experiment we have to compute for the work but this time along a curved path. We conducted 4 trials with an incrementation of 20° per trial. Using the formula given we computed for the work done (W=wL(1-cosΘ)). With the results that came up after the experiment we can say that the angle is proportional to the work done.

    The first thing that you must do is to drop a marble inside the pulley machine. When the marble has dropped into the pulley, the side of the pulley with more force will go down and the one with the least weight will go up. The pully starts out with potential energy, however it changes to kinetic energy because of the force of the marble. The weight of the marble makes the pulley change its position. When the side with more force of the pulley fell towards the ground, it tapped the wheel and axel, and the wheel and axle began spinning. The wheel and axel’s spinning gently triggers the toy car in potential energy to travel down the inclined plane and change into kinetic energy. As quickly as the car fell, it stopped right in front of the lever. The lever has potential energy and it is there to prevent the car from going on and on. When the car stops at the lever, the car pushes the lever with a little bit of force, which triggers the marble to roll out into our second pulley. Our second pulley works similarly to our first pulley. The input force is where the marble falls in and the output force is when the other bucket falls down because of the movement. In this last stage, where the food comes out, the pulley with the heavier weight in it goes down about evenly to the food side of the bucket. The food side of the bucket tilts and all the food rolls down the inclined plane. It rolls down and lands into the food tray, and…

    This lab has shown the conversion between Kinetic and Potential Energy. From the top of the rollercoaster was when the Ball bearing was at it's max Potential Energy. As the bearing travelled through the track it slowly transformed it's Potential Energy into Kinetic Energy abut as it hit each loop the bearing gained Potential Energry again. This proved our hypothesis of the bearing's energy being converted…

    I have chosen to investigate a factor that affects the output of a potential divider circuit. A potential divider is resistors connected in series across a voltage source; used to obtain a desired fraction of the voltage. A resistor is a device having resistance to the passage of an electric current which affects the output voltage (Vout). The factors that I could investigate are changing the resistance of r2 and record the output (Vout), or use a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and change the resistance of r2 and record the output (Vout).…
