Questions and Answers

What is the first step in the procedure for measuring arm power?

  • Lift the mass 10 times.
  • Calculate the total work done.
  • Measure the height the arm lifts the mass.
  • Measure the weight of the large masses in Newtons. (correct)

How do you calculate the total work done after lifting the mass 10 times?

  • Work done for one lift multiplied by 5.
  • Force divided by the height of one lift.
  • Work done for one lift multiplied by 10. (correct)
  • Work done for one lift added 10 times.

Which formula is used to calculate power output in this experiment?

  • Power = Work × Time
  • Power = Total work done × Time taken
  • Power = Force ÷ Distance
  • Power = Total work done ÷ Time taken (correct)

Power

The amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

Work Done

The force applied over a distance. It is calculated by multiplying the force and distance.

Force

The weight of an object measured in Newtons.

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.
