OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this experiment is to understand
of work, power and energy and its relationship to
energy conservation. According to the law of
energy conservation, Energy is nor created nor
destroyed but is just changed from one to
another. We know that energy is the capacity to
do work. We can obtain energy in many forms
and transfer it in from object to another through
work. Power is used to measure the work done.
In this experiment, there are two activities to be
performed. The main objectives of this
experiment are to determine the power of the fan
cart by using work and the principles of energy
conservation and to compute work of a motion
when the motion is along a curved path.
