It's All Uphill

The It's All Uphill Interactive provides a tool to investigate the effect of an incline angle upon the amount of work (and amount of force) required to pull a cart up the incline at constant speed. The cart is elevated to the same height on each trial. The force applied to the cart is displayed on the screen and the displacement of the cart can be measured.
