The tank-like molded casing and a rugged internal gear mechanism<br />

are built for the harshest student environment. Runs on four<br />

“C” batteries and has variable speed adjustment knob. External<br />

power input accepts phone plug cable (included) to power the car<br />

using a DC power supply, or a programmable power supply such<br />

as the Xplorer GLX Power Amplifier (p. 7). See page 25 for more<br />

applications.<br />

Use the Motorized Cart (ME-9781) to study the conversion of electrical<br />

energy to mechanical work. Measure the energy delivered to the cart’s<br />

electric motor, and compare to the work the cart does against gravity<br />

climbing a ramp. Investigate how varying the parameters (such as the motor<br />

voltage and amount of weight lifted) changes the efficiency of the system.<br />

In this experiment the Xplorer GLX® hand-held data logger controls<br />

the output voltage of the Power Amplifier, and records all<br />

the data, including power delivered to the motor.<br />

The above graph shows effect of increasing motor voltage<br />

on the efficiency, and the graph at left shows the<br />

efficiency as a function of load lifted. The efficiency is<br />

the ratio of the work done lifting the load divided by the<br />

electrical energy used.<br />
