9. Work is done when the force and motion are in the _same_____ direction.
10. Why is there NO work being done when you try to lift a weight that is too heavy for you?
_________there is no force being done to the weight because it is too heavy_____________________
11. The formula to calculate work done on an object is ….
____W______ = ___F________ x ____d________
12. How much work is done if a person lifts a 50N box straight up 2 meters high?
_______W =_100 Joules___________________________________________________________
13. True / False: You are doing NO work moving boxes at a constant height from one table to another
because the force and motion are in different directions.
14. True / False: You use 150N of force to move a box 3 meters up a ramp, you have done 350 Joules of
work.
15. Which of these ramps require the smallest force to go up and why?
__A, because it is less steep than the others
_________________________________________________________
16. True / False: An inclined plane changes the amount of force needed to move an object by reducing the
force needed but increasing the distance needed.
17. What remains the same whether you use a ramp or not to move an object up 2 meters?
A The amount of force
B. the amount of work done
C. the amount of distan
