ANALYSIS

At the beginning of an expirement, Our professor discuss many pointers and

procedures for us to perform the experiments without commiting mistakes such as
placing the dynamic cart in a correct position, what fan setting appropriate and etc.
In the part 1. We placed the fan cart parallel to the track with a string attached to it
so that we can add a weights at the end in order for us to determmine the force applied of
the fan. It's needed for the sample computation in solving P, w and F aside from that it
will served as a basis if our experiment is misleading
We arrived at a value of 0.245 Newtons in a high fan settings we decide to go
with the high setting than low because the given weights is upto 5 to 20 the tendency of
the fan cart is to be at stationary rather than moving in friction thus we definitely cannot
determine the force applied.
Now that we gathered the vital details so further on per trial the cart will travelled
a distance of an initial of 0.2m and with a increment of 0.1m. The photogates tasked is to
get the time for the cart to travelled a certain distance.
In the table, the input of 0.2m displacement produce an output of t = 0.2624sec
afterwards with the use of force applied we solve for work and power with a results of
0.049 Joules and 0.1867 Watts respectively in trial 1. In the 3 consecutive trial, we notice
the relationship of the value when the displacement is increasing as well as the time and
the work but when it comes to power the range of the value is 0.1806 watts >= x =<
0.1855 watts; hence our trials are agreeing to each other by showing a remarkable
patterns which is needed to formulate a conclusion. We dont encounter a major problems
with our experiment only the typical ones in deciding whether to choose the fan setting
and a proper position of the lever track.
The last part of the experiment is really tricky and frustrating because repeating
trials for the nth time yet our answers is revolving in circle. The instruction is simple as it
sounds but executing it takes a quite a manpower. In here, we need to determine the work
with a x and y component thus on a curved path; using the weights tied to an iron stand.
we are tasked to record the value of the Force, work and GPE using formula/results to
have comparable variables the true value and the experimental value.
Trial 1, Given the constant length of a string = 0.38m, weight of the mass =
2.94N, the initial height = 0.1m and the special angles = 30deg, 45deg, 60deg and 90 deg
per trial; we need to get the force from the spring balance,and solve the differentiable
data such as delta x and delta y using arithmetic math. The data we get for the force are
2.9N , the final height = 0.155, increase in height is 0.05m using angle 30 degrees the x
displacement is 19 m solving for w and gpe are almost the same but the only difference is

2. As further progress, subjecting the object to a different angles we noticed the height
and displacement increases as long as the angle increases, common sense dictates no need
for further details. In the last two cells work and gravitaional potential energy, it seems
that it show consistency with a slight difference.
The problems we encountered are my hand is shaking when i use small objects
and the missusage of protractor not neccesary missusage but inefficient because rather
than placing it beside the meter stick, we can place it in the string it still the same angles.
I must admit that the part 2 is tedious work because of the spring balance is rusty and the
working area is small for us 6 to work on it.
Conclusion
With the results of the experiment we produce different premise to satisfy the
conclusion that are needed to explain scientific phenomena: work, power and force.
In the part 1, it shows fidelity to one another, the significant data is the power is
constant and the work is increasing per trial. If we look to the details the only factor that
affect for is either displacement and force applied in different direction, assume that the
force applied is constant and the experimental variables is the displacement (increment of
0.1m) we EXPECT the work is directed proportion to displacement. In the case of power,
the rate of work is constant because the applied force is constant and notice that the
velocity is constant there's no acceleration so at any given time it's linear graphically so
power will be constant.
In the last part, the GPE and work are almost identical so we need evidence and
proofs to explain such phenomena. when the weight is at rest the work is zero because the
direction of the force is 90 degrees cos 90 is 1 because of gravity, no changes in the x and
y component with respect to the reference line. As we try it to the different angles it
shows promising results, work increases upto the maximum if and only if 0<x<90
because the varriation of the x and y displacement have the huge role in directing the
force they are mutually proportional for x to be displace then y must also be displace. In
summary, work increase if their is a displacement of the x and y component as well as the
gravitational potential energy because of the changes in y thus work done in semi-circular
path is equal to the variation in the gpe.
In summary, every principles is explained in the experiment: work and energy in x
component and y component, how the two relates to one another in a given situation and
all the results are assess with the use of logical reasoning and common sense. At the end
of the day, we realize that there's a room for improvement in our role because our
professor did a good job and I am currently aware of my incompetence so in the next
succeeding experiment I will do my best effort to not put my professor efforts to waste.
