PHYS 1403
INTRODUCTION
In this lab, we will explore
work
as well as
energy with a spring
. Specifically, the
relationship
between the
work stored in the spring
, and the
velocity at which the
spring can launch an object
. To learn this, in this experimental video, we use a spring
that launches a cart from three different points of view:
entire event, release,
and
spring stretch.
We also learn about
force constant.
MATERIALS
In this lab experiment, we used the following materials:
●
Spring
●
Ruler
●
Timer
●
Cart
●
Scissors
●
String
PROCEDURE
1.
Allow the video to fully play and watch the full event (cart launched by a spring).
2.
We will be finding the relationship between the amount of work that is required
to stretch the spring and the resulting velocity. To do so, we will first select a cart
mass (choose
502 g
). Then, begin with
Spring Stretch 1
and record the distance
for which the spring is stretched before the launch using the spring stretch ruler
(
8 cm
). *
Make sure the point of view is on spring stretch.
3.
Because we are trying to also find velocity, we will record the time. To do this, we
will simply change the point of view to
release
. In addition, change to the ruler
that states, “
the ruler calibrates to measure cart motion
”. Then, pause the video
once the string is cut, place the ruler above the green dot, and allow the cart to
move until it reaches the end of the 30 cm. While this occurs, record the time
(make sure to reset the timer after the string has been cut and stop it once it has
reached 30 cm). *The time you should end with is
0.800000 sec
4.
You will continue until you have collected a total of 5 data points each for the
stretch options 1-5. You will collect this data using the same steps as above.
Force Constant
1.
You will be performing another experiment to determine the
force constant
of
the spring. While using the spring you will also use disks each having a mass of
100g. For each of the 5 disks, you will record the number of centimeters that each
spring stretches. First, begin by placing the ruler before the spring has moved.
2.
Next, allow the spring to stretch with one disk. Record your measurement (
3.5
cm
).
3.
Continue using the same steps until you have recorded all 5 disks.

DATA & DATA ANALYSIS
The table below displays the spring stretch, the work (formula= .5*26* spring stretch^2),
delta x cart/distance (30 cm for all), change in time, velocity (formula: change in x/change
in time), and velocity squared. Here we can see the r
elationship between the amount
of work that was required to stretch the spring and the velocity-linear graph.
Force Constant
The table and graph below determine the
force constant
of the spring. We obtain a
linear graph that indicates a constant relationship - force and stretch are linear.
CONCLUSION
The purpose of this lab was to
analyze the relationship between work and energy
. For
us to learn and see this, we collect data and create a graph from our spring experiment.
Our data resulted in a linear graph which showed us the constant relationship that work
and energy have. In addition, we were able to also learn about
force constant.
We were
able to take a closer look at the spring stretch and examine the table/graph we got. We
saw that we also had a linear graph which again tells us that force and the spring stretch
have a constant relationship.
PERSONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE
I enjoyed this lab! I was able to learn about the relationship between work and energy. I
was easily able to understand this concept after I had collected all the data from the
experiment. Being able to measure and record data of the spring being stretched allows
me to make the connections of how work and energy correlate. Not only was the video
helpful, but so were the graphs and tables. Seeing that our data resulted in a linear graph
displayed the relationship of work and energy. I also learned about the force constant of
the spring. I was able to see that the force and elongation of the spring/stretch had a
linear graph which display’s that the relationship is constant.

ECO
5. AUTOMOTIVE. The power an
engine produces is called
horsepower. In mathematical
terms, one horsepower is the
power needed to move 550
pounds one foot in one
second, or the power needed
to move 33,000 pounds one
foot in one minute. Power, in
physics, is defined simply as
the rate of doing work. The
formula below gives the
horsepower at 5,252 radians
per second.

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force
In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force.
Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment.
Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force.
Record data for five different values of Applied Force.
Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force.

Part 1: Do the Analysis of the Ocean Thermal Gradient Power Plant shown
below. Your Analysis will be easier to do in EES but it is up to you. Your
EES program must be well documented and documentation in your code
should reference system sketches. (The cycle and individual components)
These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless
you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand
calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the
perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course,
a system sketch is required.
