The Most Powerful Group In Carrying Someone Upstairs
Purpose:
To determine the most powerful group in carrying someone upstairs.
Background Information:
A force is a push or pull on an object with the effect of the object’s interaction with another object. Forces only exist as a consequence of an interaction. To find the force of an object use the formula: F = m • a. Where F, stands for force, m stands for mass and a for acceleration.
Displacement is how far away the endpoint is from the starting point in a straight line.
Work is the means of transferring energy in /out an object. To find the force of an object use the formula: W = F • Δd. Where W, stands for work, F stands for force and Δd for distance. Work is measured in joules.
Power is the rate at which work is done. To calculate the power use this formula:
P = W/Δt. P stands …show more content…
However, the group with more power was the one that carried the lightest person in less time. Some possible measurement errors might have occurred. Such as when stopping the time. Also, we tried the best to remain at a constant speed, however in one trial we might have gone faster or slower. We can compare this lab to many situations in our life. For example, when your mom asks you to carry the groceries bags upstairs, you can carry the lightest ones and you will go up faster and do more
