Question

If we decrease the distance an object moves we will

A. decrease the amount of force applied.
B. decrease the amount of work done.
C. increase the amount of force applied.
D. increase the amount of work done.

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

your decreasing the amount of work because your cut the distance

Answer 2

B. decrease the amount of work done

Step-by-step explanation:

Only parameter that changed is given as the distance moved. So by assuming the force applied is the same when distance moved decrease, the work done is also decreased.

Consider the equation,

Work done = Magnitude of the force × distance the force moved.(distance the object moved)

So you see if distance of force moved decrease, work done will reduce.
