Instantaneous Power

Power is defined in physics as the amount of energy transmitted or transformed per unit time. The watt is the unit of electricity in the International System of Units, equivalent to one joule per second.

WORK AND POWER
I. Theory:
The concepts of work provide a convenient means of analyzing an object or system of
objects moving between an initial and final state. Basically, work is defined as the product of
force and distance. To express that mathematically these are
w = F x d or
w = m x g x h
When work is done upon an object by an external force, the total mechanical energy (KE
+ PE) of that object is changed. If the work is "positive work", then the object will gain
energy. If the work is "negative work", then the object will lose energy. The gain or loss in
energy can be in the form of potential energy, kinetic energy, or both. Under such
circumstances, the work which is done will be equal to the change in mechanical energy of
the object.
In this experiment, we will utilize the concept of work by applying it to a student
performing this experiment. A diagram below illustrates how the work is being utilized.

A grocery cart with a mass of 10 kg is being pushed at constant speed up a 25° ramp by a force Fp which acts parallel to the incline. (Ignore the friction) a. Draw a free-body diagram of the cart showing all the forces acting on it. b. Find the work done by each of the forces (W, Fn, Fp) on the cart if the ramp is 7.5 m long. Hints: The question is very similar to the question of a piano sliding down an incline discussed in class. However, here the object is pushed up the incline. The forces Fn = mgcos(0), and Fp = mgsin(0), so don't spend time getting these using Newton's 2nd law. Also, the weight is W = mg. c. Find the net work done on the cart.
