WORK, ENERGY AND POWER! Show ALL WORK with formulas, math, units, etc. in spaces provided. Put ANSWERS in the DATA TABLE and/or in the blanks provided. Complete this work sheet after you are done with lab. 1. What is your weight in pounds? 2. What is your weight in kilograms? Use 2.2 lbs = 1 kg conversion factor, Show calculation here: lbs kg Calculate each of the member's weight in kg and fill put in data table A. 3. What is your weight in Newton's? Remember that weight in Newton is mass in kg (from #2) times acceleration due to gravity. (W= mg) and g = 9.8 m/s. Show your work here, and put in data table A. 4. Now find out the information of the stairs of your house or if you do not have staris, find a stairin your near by place and get the following information: 5. What is the vertical distance (height) of one average step? [This question is about the stairs] (If you measure in cm, convert to m) 5. How many steps are there? 6. What is the vertical distance (height) of the steps? m steps m 7. Have your partner time you as you climb the stairs at a steady pace. Be careful NOT TO TRIP! Time each of the group members one by one. Put in Table A. 8. How much WORK do you do climbing the stairs? (WF (cos e) d). Force will be your WEIGHT in Newton's from #3 times the vertical distance (height) of the steps. What about the angle? Calculate here, and put in data table A. 9. How much POTENTIAL ENERGY do you have at the TOP of the stairs, relative to the ground? (PE=mg *h) Calculate here, and put in data table A. 10. How much POWER did you each use? (Power = Work/time or P = Fd/t) Calculate here, and put in data table A. [This unit will be J/s or Watts!] 11. Which student in your group did the MOST WORK? 12. Explain why their work was larger/smaller/same. 13. Which student in your group used the most POWER? 14. Explain why their power usage was greater/smaller/same.. 15. If a power company paid you $1.00 per kilowatt of power you produce (1 kw 1000 Joules / second or lkw = 1000 Watts), how much money would you make for this climb? Calculate here, and put in data table A. 16. Why you did not take the length of the stairs (distance of the plain surface) to calculate the work done? Explain in details! DATA TABLE A NAME MASS in kg WT. in N Vertica 1 d (ht.) in m WORK PE at TIME you 99 POWER $ for kW-hrs done by top in to go in climb J up in Watts in J 17. Would all group members hit the ground with the SAME FORCE after free-falling? Why or why not? 18. THINK about this and tell me... AFTER you jumped off and free-fell to the ground from the top of the stair (do not try this, this is just a thought experiment), WHAT would happen to the ENERGY that was Potential at the top, and Kinetic just before you hit the ground??! In other words, WHERE would the energy "go"? 19. Find out what would be your speed when you are about to hit the ground if you jump from the top of the stairs. 20. Example: Suppose a 1.5 kW electric heater runs for 3 hours, P = 1.5 kW, and t = 3 h. [As you know, W=E, and P=W/t. So Work (or energy) is = Power X time.] Therefore the energy E in kilowatt-hours for this example problem is: E = Pt=1.5 x 3 = 4.5 kWh Now: Calculate your energy expended in kW- hrs going up the stairs and put into last column of Data Table A. Show work here! 21. Suppose, you just had a slice of pizza (shown below Domino's and Pappa John's), find out how many times you need to climb the stairs to burn the equal amount of calories for two different slices of pizza? Show your work in detail here (provide the result for each individual here): Suggest that is it easy to loose your weight via work out or via dieting based upon your result! 170 Convert joule to calorie [nutritional] 711000 joule 169.8194325 calorie [nutritional] Convert Nutrition Facts {2} Calories 170 (711 kJ) 170 calories Serving size 1 x slice, 1/8 pizza (2.2 oz) nembers of group.
