Use these activities to explore Inclined Planes and why they reduce the input force necessary to raise an object. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Activity 1 |
| This activity discusses the ratio of a plane’s length to the height of the object it is overcoming. Using this information, students will be able to calculate the input force necessary to lift an object over an inclined plane. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Activity 2 |
| This activity allows students to move from a theoretical to a practical application of inclined planes. |
