14. 13. A student was asked to set up an experiment to determine how the angle of a ramp affects the amount of force needed to move a 1 kg object. Which of the following data tables would be most appropriate for collecting the data?

15. 14. A moving service is delivering boxes to a warehouse
14. A moving service is delivering boxes to a warehouse. The workers used 15.3 N of force to move a box 17 meters across the floor. Calculate the work being done on the box.
Record your answer and fill in the bubbles on your answer document. Be sure to use the correct place value.

16. 15. A student was asked to set up an experiment to determine how the angle of a ramp affects the amount of force needed to move a 1 kg object.
The data for the experiment follows.
When the ramp was set at 90 degrees, it took 10 N of force to move the 1 kg object.
When the ramp was set at 60 degrees, it took 8.6 N of force to move the 1 kg object.
When the ramp was set at 30 degrees, it took 5 N of force to move the 1 kg object.
What conclusion can be made from the above data?
