The objective of this lab exercise is to compare both the force required and the amount of work done to pull an object up an incline versus pulling it straight up. Materials: . cart ramp spring scale protractor meter stick You will be comparing the upward movement of a cart via pulls at various angles over a distance of 1.0 m versus pulls straight up over several pre-determined distances. Angled pulls should be made parallel to the surface and at a constant velocity. Angled Pulls Angle of Incline Force (N) Distance (m) Work (J) 10° 20° 30° 1.0 1.0 1.0 37° 1.0 1.0 45° Vertical Pulls Force (N) Distance (m) Work (J) 0.17 0.34 0.50 0.60 0.71 Questions to consider: 1. Compare the amount of work done in corresponding rows in the data tables above. questions continued on next page Unit 4D Exploring Work Lab Copyright © 2018 Georgia Public Broadcasting.
