November 10th 2012 Introduction
In our daily lives, a lot of works are applied and used. We can use it wisely by using equipment such as pulley. Through the simulation of pulley, we could see that the work applied in to the pulley by inclining to heavier side of pulley. Pulley can make works easier because humans don’t need to use their own work to lift things up and move. Hanging heavier object on the lope and hang the lighter one on the other side of pulley and wire them to the circular thing. Also when you push the lawn mowers, work applies in to it. Equation of work is
W = F x (cos ) x d
W is work, F is force that applied and d is distance that the subject moved.

The answer would be 1838.5.

Hypothesis
We can predict that more mass that you work on makes more work to do which means when mass increases, work increases too. In this lab, the mass of shoe is twice heavier than the mass of calculator. Therefore we can guess the difference of work because in the calculating procedure, height which is 0.9m and the gravity which is 9.81 apply same to both of mass. Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing of both factors in each side make same ratio but different results.

| Mass | Force | Height(d) | Work | Calculator | 0.105kg | 1.03N | 0.9m | 0.927J | Shoe | 0.210kg | 2.06N | 0.9m | 1.854J |

According to the graph and a chart, I can confirm that my hypothesis was right. The work of shoe is twice higher than the work of calculator because the mass of calculator is twice less than the mass of shoe. Work equation which is W = F x d. This equation doesn’t change the result of mass because you multiply the gravity to mass to get the force(F), multiply the height(d) which is measured in same place so make same result to both sides.

Discussion

This lab was about work by lifting 2 objects and compares the result of them.
W = F x d Using this equation to calculate the works don’t make the difference of ratio between 2 objects because that applies to both of factors which means they will have different results but same ratio. Works are always applied to our daily lives. For example, when you lift the dumbbell, you use your biceps to move them and those movements make works.

    INTRODUCTION: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m swinging back and forth along a circular arc at the end of a string of negligible mass. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Gravity is the pull that two bodies of mass exert on one another. There are several simple experiments that will allow you to calculate the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object. A simple pendulum can determine this acceleration. The only variables in this experiment are the length of the pendulum (L) and the period of one full swing of the pendulum (T). In this case the independent variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2.…

    As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum, our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity, we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track, a timer, a force sensor, and a Ti-Nspire Calculator. The Ti-Nspire Calculator was connected to the force sensor in order to track and create data that would be shown in graphs on the calculator. Because we had to compare the collision of the cart with the force sensor with and without the plunger, it would force us to run two trials in total (one run with the plunger, and one run without the plunger). Once all of the materials were prepared, I began with run one, which was with the plunger, and later run two, without the plunger.…

    The work done while running and walking the stairs is exactly the same because the work only depends on the weight of the person and the vertical displacement achieved. Since the weight of a person does not change when he or she walks or runs and since the vertical displacement does not change from time to time, the work done is exactly the same. Furthermore, since time is not considered in the equation W=Fd, time is not a factor for work. Therefore, a student whose mass is 89 kg and whose weight is 873N does the same amount of work no matter the speed at which he walks or runs because the vertical displacement(1.66 m) as well as his weight remain constant.…

    Ben is one of the largest quarterbacks currently in the NFL, which allows him to apply a smaller amount of force to throw the football a far distance. Work is done when a force is applied to an object through a distance. The equation for work is: W = F x delta d where "W" is the work done in joules, F is the force in newtons, and delta d is the displacement in meters. If Ben Roethlisberger applies a force of 1050N on a football that travels 70 yards(64.008 meters), then it is possible to calculate the work Ben Roethlisberger has done using the formula. W = 1050 x 64.008, W = 67,208.4 joules. Therefore, Ben Roethlisberger must use 67,208.4 joules of work to throw the football 70 yards down the…

    [1] Work is said to be done when a force causes a displacement in its own direction. Mathematically, work is given by the product of the force and the distance through which the force acts. Work done by an agent exerting a constant force (F) and causing a displacement (s) equals the magnitude of the displacement s, times the component of F along the direction of…
