‘Two identical blocks are released from rest at the same height. Block A slides down a steeper ramp than Block B.
Both ramps are frictionless. The blocks reach the same final height
indicated by the lower dashed line. Three students are comparing,
the work done on the two blocks by the normal force:
Annika: “Tthink the normal force doesn't do any work on either
block. The force on the block by the ramp is
perpendicular to the ramp, and the displacement is
parallel to the ramp. So the dot product is zero.”
BoBae: “Work is force times displacement. The work done on Block A is negative, while the work done on Block
Bis positive, because the displacement for B is in the positive direction, while the displacement for Ais
in the negative direction.”
Craig: “Since work is force times distance, and the distance the block travels is greater for Block B, the work
done is greater for Block B.”

‘Two identical blocks are released from rest atthe same height.
Block A slides down a steeper ramp than Block B. Both ramps are ae
frictionless. The blocks reach the same final height indicated by the Black A
ower dashed line. Three students are comparing the work done on
the two blocks by the gravitational force (the weight of the blocks):
Asmita: “Work is related to the product of force and
displacement, and the weight isthe same since the
locks are identical. But Block B travels farther, so more work is done on Block B by the gravitational
{force than on Block A.”
Ben “Both blocks fall the same vertical distance, so the work done isthe same.”
Cocheta: “By Newton's third law, the force exerted on the block by Earth is exactly cancelled by the force
exerted on Earth by the block. The work done is zero.”
Danae: “The work depends on the angle that the force makes with the displacement. If we put the displacement
‘and force vectors tail-to-tail, the angle is smaller for Block B than for Block A, and so the work done is
greater.

Arianna: “think the boy pushed harder on the girl because he is bigger, so she ended up with more kinetic
energy than he did.”
Boris: “1 disagree. They pushed equally hard on each other, but the girl moved farther while they were
pushing on each other, so she ended up with more kinetic energy.”
