Purpose of Pyramid Lab
The purpose of the Pyramid lab was to see how much force it took to move
the car a certain distance up a ramp. After each trial, we would adjust
the steepness of the ramp to see how much force it would take to move
the car up.
Big Question:
Big Question: Is the product of force and distance universally conserved?
As we observed from the three trials,
the more force meant less distance, but the amount of work increases.
The trend occurred in all three trials so it is universally conserved.
How Pyramid Lab Connects to Real Life
The Pyramid Lab connects to our real lives when people on wheelchairs
are going up a ramp to get up to places. For example, it may be to get
in a van or maybe a bus. It takes a certain amount of force to move the
wheelchair and also depends on the amount of distance the ramp covers.
This is how our lab connects to real life.
