Lab Report # 3
Lab Report Title: Work and Power
Name: Jacob S. Mallari
Section: BSECE 1A
Schedule: Friday, 1:00pm-4:00pm/March-25-2022
Objective:
My Objective in this experiment is to learn how to visualize
and measure the work and power, as well as to observe the effects of
how an object change in terms of applying power on to it.
• Method:
First step in this experiment is to measure the table in a
vertical distance from the floor to the table. Second is a small
chair, also measure it in a vertical distance. After that use a timer
to calculate the object’s time when lifted from the floor to the
small chair and the table in seconds. I repeated the steps to see if
there is much of a change in the data after, and then I applied the
work and power formula for the calculations.
△PE = mgh Power = △PE/△t
• Data:
Tools used in this experiment:
Stopwatch (smartphone)
Tape measure
Weighing scale
A small chair – 0.50m
Table – 1.46m
Shoe box (with shoes inside) – 1.820kg
Flat iron – 2.710kg
Small Chair
Mass of the object to lift (m1) 1.820kg
Vertical distance (Small Chair) 0.50m
Average time (T1) 0.63s
Power (P1) 14.16Watts
Mass of the object to lift (m2) 2.710kg
Vertical distance (Small Chair) 0.50m
Average time (T2) 0.74s
Power (P2) 17.90Watts
Table
Mass of the object to lift (m3) 1.820kg
Vertical distance (Table) 1.46m
Average time (T3) 1.89s
Power (P3) 13.80Watts
Mass of the object to lift (m4) 2.710kg
Vertical distance (Table) 1.46m
Average time (T4) 1.98s
Power (P4) 19.58Watts
• Data and Error Analysis:
In this experiment most of the time you will encounter
technical errors, but these are common mistake we do, some data might
be slightly different because measuring the vertical distance by a
tape measure and measuring the time by the stopwatch in the
smartphone are not that precise which are prone to error of data
gathering.
• Conclusion:
So, concluding of what have we done in this experiment, the
rate at which work is completed is referred to power. The ability to
work, as well as energy, are critical components in completing tasks.
It describes how power is released when a person lifts an object.
