Work

An exploration of how the area under a force vs. position graph equals the work done by the force and solves some sample problems.

An exploration through some example problems on the concept of work.

Explore the various forces acting on a block sitting on an inclined plane. Learn how to break the force of gravity into two components - one perpendicular to the ramp and one parallel to the ramp. Finally, using geometry and trigonometry, learn how to calculate the magnitude of each component of force that is acting on the block.
