Question/Hypothesis
The central question the lab is
asking is stated along with a
plausible hypothesis
The central question is stated
and something resembling a
hypothesis is stated
Only the central question is
stated
The section is missing or
contains the wrong central
question.
Materials/Procedures
The procedures are written
step by step in complete
sentences and the materials
are clearly listed.
The procedures and materials
are listed but unorganized. The
procedure does not explain the
lab
Either the procedures or the
materials are incomplete.
Only procedures are present,
or only materials are present.
Data Collection
The lab contains a table and a
graph that represents the data
accurately and is labeled
correctly with the equation of
the line written.
The lab contains a table and a
graph but it may be missing
some labels and the graph may
not be done correctly.
The lab is missing a graph
completely.
The data is incomplete.
Calculations
Students have all calculations
completed, with work shown,
and they are correct.
Students have all calculations
completed and at least half are
done correctly and all work is
shown.
Students do not have all
calculations completed, and
little work is shown.
Calculations section is mostly
or entirely missing.
Analysis
The student gives evidence
from their lab data why their
hypothesis is true, false, or
inconclusive. The discuss the
relationships between the
variables that were graphed
and if linear they write down
the equation of the line.
The students gives evidence
from their lab data and
attempts to prove that the
hypothesis is false, true or
inconclusive, but the data is
misapplied and doesn’t support
their claim. For linear graphs,
no equation is given.
This section discusses whether
the hypothesis is true,
inconclusive, or false but no
data is used to support the
hypothesis and any reference
to the graph or the data is too
general to be helpful.
This section is omitted or the
student may mention the
hypothesis and its validity, but
doesn’t explain or the
explanation is not plausible
Conclusion
The conclusion includes a
summary of your lab results,
(which will include numbers or
equations), gives %error and
discusses sources of error. It
also gives a suggestion about
how to improve the lab.
The conclusion includes a
summary of your lab results. It
includes data. % error is given.
Either and least 1 source of
error discussed or a suggestion
is given to improve the lab.
The conclusion includes a
summary and either % error, or
mentions types of error, or
mentions improving the
experiment.
The conclusion is omitted or
only includes a brief summary.

Now make up a definition of work,
write it down to turn in, and prepare to
discuss.
Work and the Dot Product
Dot Products occur when you multiply 2 vectors (in this case F & d) and your
answer is a scalar (it has no direction.)
W = F ·d
W = Fd cosqab
-A. This equation means that if I
lift up a box by applying a Force,
I will not be able to move it to
the right with my lifting Force.
-B. If I push the box to the right with enough
Force to move the box, it will move to the
right. I will have done work!
-C. If is drag a box from a string across the
ground, only the horizontal component of the
Force I apply will make the box move and
therefore do work.

Guided Practice
1. A 2000kg box is carried 4m in the air across a warehouse
that is 100 m long by a forklift? If it takes 2000 N to move it,
how much work is done by the forklift? If the forklift then
puts the box down on the ground, how much work is done
by gravity on the box?
2. A little box is pulled a distance D by a string at an angle θ by
a child distance with a Force F. What is the work done by
the child?

A child pulls a wagon full of toys using a rope over his/her shoulder. If the angle of the rope is 60
degrees above the horizontal, how much work will s/he do if he moves the cart 12m after applying
320 N of Force?
(ex)The largest palace in the word is the Imperial Palace in Beijing, China, Suppose you were to push
a lawn mower around the perimeter of a rectangular area identical to that of the palace, applying a
constant horizontal force of 60.0 N. If you did 2.05x105 J of work, how far would you have pushed
the lawn mower? If the Imperial Palace is 9.60x102 m long, how wide is it?
(1) Lake Point Tower in Chicago is the tallest apartment building in the United States (although not
the tallest building in which there are apartments). Suppose you take the elevator from street level
to the roof of the building. The elevator moves almost the entire distance at constant speed, so
that it does 1.15x105 J of work on you as it lifts the entire distance. If your mass is 60.0 kg, how tall
is the building. Ignore the effects of friction.
(3) A hummingbird has a mass of about 1.7g. Suppose a hummingbird does 0.15 J of work against
gravity, so that it ascends straight up with a net acceleration of 1.2m/s2 How far up does it move?

(8) The largest mincemeat pie ever created had a mass of 1.02x10 kg. Suppose that a pie with this
mass slides down a ramp that is 18.0 m long and is inclined to the ground by 10.0°. If the
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13, what is the net work done on the pie during its descent?
(9) The longest shish kebab ever made was 881 m long. Suppose the meat and vegetables need to
be delivered in a cart from one end of this shish kebab’s skewer to the other end. A cook pulls the
cart by applying a force of 40.00 N at an angle of 45.00° above the horizontal. If the force of
friction acting on the cart is 28.00 N, what is the net work done on the cart and its contents during
the delivery?

(11) width of 78 m. the flag’s mass is 1.24x10 kg, which may explain why the flag has never been
flown from a flagpole. Suppose this flag is being pulled by two forces: a force of 8.00x103N to the
east and a force of 5.00x103 N that is directed 30.0°south of east. How much work is done in
moving the flag 20.0 m directly south?

running 18.084 km in 1.000 h. If Cruciata’s kinetic energy was 694
J, what was her mass?
(2) The fastest helicopter, the Westland Lynx, has a top speed of
4.00x102 km/h. If its kinetic energy at this speed is 2.10x107 J,
what is the helicopter’s mass.
(7) The brightest, hottest, and most massive stars are the brilliant
blue stars designated as spetral class O. If a class O star with a
mass of 3.38x1031kg has a kinetic energy of 1.10x1042J, what is its
speed? Express your answer in km/s (a typical unit for describing
the speed of stars)
