LAB SESSION 5: WORK AND ENERGY. PHYS-1320-M59, College Physics I Laboratory Date: 18/10/ Abstract The main goal of this experiment is to analyze and compare the relationships and trends between the work done on a cart to the change kinetic energy of that same cart during a specified time interval.
WORK AND ENERGY EXPERIMENT. Introduction. This lab has two goals. The first is checking the validity of the work-energy theorem. You will measure the work done by a force acting on a cart and also measure the change in kinetic energy of the cart to verify if they are equal. The second goal is to check the conservation of mechanical energy.
Two new concepts are useful in further studying various types of physical interactions–work and energy. In this lab, you will begin the process of understanding the scientific definitions of work and energy, which in some cases are different from the way these words are used in everyday language.
EXPERIMENT 6: WORK AND ENERGY Objective: To validate the work-energy theorem and to study the conservation of energy principle. Theory: The work-energy theorem states that the net (total) work done on a system is equal to its increase in kinetic energy. You will determine the work done on a (nearly) frictionless cart and show that the work done ...
Lab 6.Work and Energy Goals •To apply the concept of work to each of the forces acting on an object pulled up an incline at constant speed. •To compare the total work on an object to the change in its kinetic energy as a first step in the application of the so-called Work-Energy Theorem.
Work and Energy - 1 Work and Energy PES 1150 General Physics Lab I Purpose of the experiment What is Work and how is it related to Force? Learn about different forms of energy. Learn how to use the “Conservation of Energy” to solve complicated dynamics problems. FYI
Introduction: We use falling water, after it is impounded behind dams, to do work on turbines and make electricity (electrical energy) for us. Although nature does the work of lifting this water into the air over the oceans, we can similarly do work on an object by lifting it above the ground.
