Abstract:
The purpose of the study of generating power is to see how much power a body can generate while running up the stairs. It is also to see who can generate the most power, and the reasoning behind why they were able to generate more power than the other people in the group. For this study, it is important to have a staircase, people, a meter stick and a stopwatch. To calculate power, Measure (in cm) the height of one stair. Then, count the steps and multiply the number of steps by the height of the one stair in order to get distance (convert to meters). Have the first person run up one flight of stairs as another person uses the timer to time them. Record the time in the data table. Repeat those steps until all group members have completed 3 time trials. Convert all group members weight (in lb) to Newtons, using the conversion factor 1 lb = 4.448N. Plug in force, displacement, and time to calculate power using P=F(d)/t. Ally generated the most power in our experiment. She generated 452.20 watts of power since her best time was 3.20 seconds. Rebecca generated the least amount of power because her best time was 3.40 seconds, generating 380.96 watts. Ally generate more power than Rebecca because her force was more than Rebecca’s force. Also, her best time was .2 seconds faster than Rebecca’s time. For the first
trial, we did not try as hard to run up the stairs quickly, and our times show that by being a lot longer than our second and third trials. You can not assume constant speed.
