RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Part 1.

Figure 1. On the leveled track find the force of the
fan cart by affixing a weight hanger. Observe the
direction of the cart, add weights until the cart
stops. Using the formula force is equal to mass multiplied
to gravity, we can now find the force using the mass of the
cart and its additional mass.
Figure 2. Remove the weight hanger and attach
the metal strip for the photo gates to detect.
Once detected, the photogates will record the
time the cart passes through the first to the
second gate.

. Figure 3. With mass attached to a string, tie the string Figure 4. With the scale, the mass is pulled
to the iron stand and measure its height. with different forces, record the angle done.

CONCLUSION

The group measured the power of the cart and the amount of work it possess as it goes through curved path to assist
in knowing the concept behind work and energy conservation. The first part consists of observing a cart equipped with
a fan as its engine, as it moves, the work and power proportionally increases. The second part also consist of a cart but
without additional mass attached the time is recorded through the photo gates placed in a specific distance, the time
between photo gates is recorded. From this part of the experiment the cart’s total amount of work and energy increases
as the displacement of the cart increases along the leveled track.
This concept can be used in locomotives such as transportation and also in building rides applied to amusement
parks.
