Mapua Institute of Technology Department of Physics: Grade Grades

The document summarizes an experiment on work, energy, and power. It finds that work done by a fan cart is directly proportional to displacement under constant force. It also finds that power is directly proportional to displacement under constant force since power is directly proportional to work. The experiment also examines work done lifting an object along a curved path, finding work done is directly proportional to gravitational potential energy.

INSTRUCTOR
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-cos)). With the results that came up

after the experiment we can say that the angle is proportional to the work done.

Related Discussion: Surface energy Contact angle measurements can be used to determine the surface energy of a material. Here, a drop of water on glass. Surface energy quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occur when a surface is created. In the physics of solids, surfaces must be intrinsically less energetically favorable than the bulk of a material (the molecules on the surface have more energy compared with the molecules in the bulk of the material), otherwise there would be a driving force for surfaces to be created, removing the bulk of the material . The surface energy may therefore be defined as the excess energy at the surface of a material compared to the bulk.For a liquid, the surface tension (force per unit length) and the surface energy density are identical. Water has a surface energy density of 0.072 J/m2 and a surface tension of 0.072 N/m; the units are equivalent.Cutting a solid body into pieces disrupts its bonds, and therefore consumes energy. If the cutting is done reversibly, then conservation of energy means that the energy consumed by the cutting process will be equal to the energy inherent in the two new surfaces created. The unit surface energy of a material would therefore be half of its energy of cohesion, all other things being equal; in practice, this is true only for a

surface freshly prepared in vacuum. Surfaces often change their form away from the simple "cleaved bond" model just implied above. They are found to be highly dynamic regions, which readily rearrange or react, so that energy is often reduced by such processes as passivation or adsorption.
