The Ramp-Force, Energy, Work
Students manipulate objects on a ramp to experiment with forces, energy, and work.
Students explore forces, energy and work as they push household objects up and down a ramp. They can lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces acting on the file cabinet. Graphs show forces, energy and work.
