1. Do you do more work
going straight up a
mountain or taking the
longer scenic route
around to the top?
A
B
Work = Force (N) x D (m)
or W= Fd

4. Conclusion/Summary:
1.Is your hypothesis right or wrong? Explain.
-Restate your hypothesis
-State whether right or wrong
-Use data (#’s) to support why hypothesis is right or wrong
- your group data, B block class data, and 8th grade combined class
data
2.Explain your results. What is the relationship between
work of A (straight up) and work of B (scenic route)?
- use the formula W = F x d (use force #’s from your group data)
