Ramp: Forces and Motion 2.00

Explore forces and motion as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces. Graphs show forces, energy and work.<br /><br />Sample Learning Goals<br /><br /> * Predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion.<br /> * Explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram.<br /> * Use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa.<br /> * Explain how the graphs relate to one another.<br /> * Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs.<br />
