MAN vs. FISH


AP & SAT II Physics

After reaching the current position in the


diagram, the fish is like, “Yo, we aint going to
the top of no ramp!” He increases the force he
exerts to H and the boulder stops moving.

Does the man still perform work?

Find an expression for H.

A man pushes a boulder up a ramp. A fish lives skjdhaskjdasdasdajdhaskdjashdaksjdhaks


inside the boulder and he pushes back. Friction

Is the following diagram more accurate?

From the bottom of the ramp, to the current

How much work does the man perform?

How much work does the fish perform?

How much work does gravity perform? If the man rolls the boulder up the ramp,
instead of pushing it, does this make a

And Arminator, what are some relevant


questions that can be generated from this
idea of rolling instead of pushing?
