    Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated

    To determine the heating and cooling curve of water Design: What we are going to do is investigate the phase changes and what the heating curve of water is. We are going to do this is by heating up 100ml of water on a Bunsen burner then adding ice cubes. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature every 30 seconds until it reaches a plateau. Hypothesis: As more time passes‚ the temperature of the water increases. Independent variable: Time Dependent variable: Changing water temperature
