Do You Have The Horsepower? |
||
| #1. "find your weight in pounds and convert to kilograms" (1 pound = .45kg) | ||
 |
 |
 |
|
#2. "calculate the force" Force(N) = Mass(kg) X Acceleration(9.8m/s2) |
||
 |
 |
 |
|
#3. "measure the height of each stair (in cm) and multiply by the total number of stairs" (convert the cm into m) |
||
 |
 |
|
| #4. "calculate the work" Work(J) = Force(N) X Time(S) | ||
| #5. "measure the time (in seconds) it takes to climb the stairs" | ||
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
| #6. "calculate the power" Power(J/S) = Work(J) / Time(S) | ||
