Calculate work using force and distance. Calculate work and speed.
Construct a data table for observations and calculations related to work or speed.

At Coaster World, the tallest rollercoaster is
The Pinnacle. The top of the first hill is
40 meters high. It takes 160 Newtons of force
to bring a car to the top of the first hill. It takes
10 seconds to get to the top of the hill. How
much work is done? How fast are you
travelling, on average, to the top of the first
hill?

At Ocean World, Wally the Whale uses
800 Newtons of force to jump out of the water
10 meters into the air. Wally does this trick four
times a day. He is able to get 10 meters high in 3.5 seconds. How much work does Wally do
each day? What is his average speed with each
jump?

Elijah's car broke down. It takes 1400 Newtons
of force for the tow
-truck to pull his car. If
Elijah lives 800 meters away, how much work
will it take to tow his car home? If it takes him
40 minutes to get home, what is his average
speed?

George works for a moving company. He is
paid $1 for every 1,000 Newton
-meters of
work. On Thursday, George used 600 Newtons
of force moving a piano 80 meters. It took him
50 minutes to move the piano. How much
should George get paid? How fast did he move
the piano on average
?
