Learners read an analogy comparing mechanical work (in this case, sliding a weight) to that of electrical power. The relationship of work, apparent work, and power factor is developed.
In this interactive object, learners examine how work is performed in foot-pounds by a hydraulic system that uses a pump and cylinder. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners brainstorm ideas for how to gather information from team members who work at different locations. They analyze the pros and cons of each idea and make recommendations.
