Today in Mr. Manning's physics class we had a shortened period due to a raid by the Manheim Township Police Department. In class we went over our Daily Question and then Mr. Manning moved on to demonstrating what we would be doing for our lab. For our lab, Working on the Ramp Lab, we were to use two wooden planks of wood that were attached at the bottom so they could move closer or farther apart. These two wooden planks were held in place by a large protractor which was able to tell us the angle measure of the two boards. At first we were supposed to make a prediction on which scenario would require the most work. Scenario A was a box being lifted up at a 90 degree angle. Scenario B would be pulled at a 40 degree angle while scenario C is pulled up a short ramp at 15 degrees. After predictions were made we were supposed to get a lab car, ramp, springscale, and a meter stick. After my group tested all scenarios we came to the conclusion that all methods used the same amount of work to carry out each scenario. Our homework was to complete the Work and Power Worksheet which consisted of a number of work problems. Our other homework assignment was to complete The 10 Most Missed Midterm Exam Multiple Choice Questions.
