Question

Jamie throws a ball with a force of 50N a distance of 25m. Trish throws the ball with the same amount of force, but the ball only goes 15m. Which girl does less work

Answer 1

Trish

Step-by-step explanation:

the work done by each girl in throwing the ball is equal to the kinetic energy acquired by the ball. The ball thrown by Jamie has for sure more kinetic energy than the ball thrown by Trish, since it travels for a longer distance (25 m against 15 m), therefore this means that Jamie did more work than Trish in throwing the ball.
