lab 10- Work and power

Purpose:

Determine the output power of human beings to understand the calculation for work and power.

Introduction:

Power is the rate at which work is done. To calculate the average power, we need to get the work and the time. First of all, we should lift a known mass up by a measured distance. By getting timed, we can derive the power. Then walk up the floor and get timed. We can derive the second power by using those data. Run up the floor and get timed to derive the third power.

Calculation:

As plotted.

Conclusion:

a) in your analysis we neglected KE in calculating the total work you did. Make a reasonable estimate of how big of an error this introduces into results.

b) A microwave on oven typically has a power consumption of appoximarly 1100W. How many of the flights of stair we used in this lab would you have to climb each second to equal the power output?

P=111.78w n=1100/111.78=9.84

c) W=1100*360=396000 J

d) (1) P=W/t=20833.33 watts

(2) n=P/P0=208 people

(3) W/P0=t=125000 s

lab 6- Propagated Uncertainty in Measurements

Propagated Uncertainty in Measurements Purpose Learn how to calculate propagated uncertainty in density measurements with different metal material cylinders. Process First, we need to measure the density of two cylinders made of different materials . To measure the density we should measure its mass m, diameter d and height h. Mass(g) Diameter(cm) Height(cm) 69.4 1.55 5.01 27.6 1.59 4.98 So the density of the first material is about 7.31 g/cm^3, which may be zine. The density of the second material is about 2.80 g/cm^3, which may be aluminum. Then we should calculate the propagated uncertainty of the density. For a cylinder, its density can be calculate with the equation p=(4/∏)* [m/(d2*h)]. The differential form of this equation is dp= (∂p/∂m)*dm + (∂p/∂d)*dd + (∂p/∂h)dh, which equals to The calculation is attached below. Conclusion In this lab, we learnt ho...

lab 2 Free Fall Lab- determination of g and some statistics for analyzing data

Purpose Determine the gravity coefficient by determine the velocity of a falling object with spark generator and spark–sensitive tape. Compare the result with the actual value to calculate the error from systematic nature. Procedure The spark generator is connected to a cylinder which would fall with a distant of 1.5 m and was linked with the spark-sensitive tape. When the cylinder released, the spark generator left sparks on the tape with a frequency of 60 per second. After measuring the distant between sparks and analyzing those data, we can finally get the local gravity coefficient. Method of Fitting From the sparks we can derive the time of each spark. To ensure the velocity’s accuracy, we should choose a mid-interval time and the corresponding mid-interval velocity. When we plot velocities in excel and plot the fitted curve, the slope of the fitted curve is the gravity coefficient. Conclusion and Analysis The gravity coefficient determined by...
