Study Notes
Power
- Power is numerically the same as energy transferred over time
- The unit of power is the Watt (W)
- 1 Watt is equivalent to 1 Joule/second
Experiment to Compare Arm Power
- Step 1: Measure the weight of the large mass in Newtons.
- Step 2: Measure the height the arm lifts the mass.
- Step 3: Lift the mass 10 times.
- Step 4: Measure the time taken to lift the mass 10 times.
- Step 5: Calculate the work done for one lift (Work = force × distance = weight × height).
- Step 6: Calculate the total work done (Total work = work done per lift × 10).
- Step 7: Calculate the power using the equation: Power = total work done / time taken.
