Which Path Requires the Most Energy? Suppose that a car traveled up three different roadways (each with varying incline angle or slope) from the base of a mountain to the summit of the mountain. Which path would require the most gasoline (or energy)?

Work-Energy Principle In order to transfer energy to an object, you have to exert a on that object Force

Work-Energy Principle The amount of energy work done transferred by a force is called the w d by that force. WORK DONE ENERGY TRANSFERRED

Work-Energy Principle Whenever w is done on an object, it’s energy changes.the energy is t Work (F d) to that object transferred
