W=FxD
P=FxD/T
P = 35 N x 10 m / 5 sec P = 350 J / 5
sec = 70 J/sec
P = 70 Watts
W=PxT
convert 1 hour into seconds: 1
hour 60 min x 60 sec
Work = 60 watts x 3600 sec =
216,000
1 hr Joules1 min
= 216 Kilojoules
SWBAT- Create an incline plane using a computer program that will allow to calculate kinetic and
potential energy. And they will use a worksheet to collect data from the simulation and use it to
better understand the factors that contribute to an objects potential and kinetic energy.
